Instructions on Prayer

|
# Chapter 2
|
|
1. First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone,
|
|
2. for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
|
|
3. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,
|
|
4. who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
|
|
|
5. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
|
|
6. who gave himself as a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time.
|
|
|
|
7. For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Instructions to Men and Women
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
|
|
9. Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel,
|
|
10. but with good works, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
|
|
11. A woman is to learn quietly with full submission.
|
|
12. I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to remain quiet.
|
|
13. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
|
|
14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.
|
|
15. But she will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with good sense.
