[1]I REQUIREⓘ then from thee, that, before every thing supplication be offered to Aloha, and prayer and intercession and thanksgiving for all men;
[2]For kings and princes,ⓘ that an habitation quiet and tranquil we may inhabit in all the fear of Aloha and purity.
[3]For this is good and acceptable before Aloha our Saviour;
[4]Who willeth that all men should be saved, and turn to the knowledge of the truth.
[5]For one is Aloha, and one is the Mediator of Aloha and of men; the man Jeshu Meshiha,
[6]Who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony which cometh in its time,
[7]Of which I am constituted an herald and an apostle, I say the truth and lie not, to be a teacher of the nations in the faith of the truth.
[8]I wish then for men to pray in every place, uplifting their hands purely and without wrath and without disputations.
[9]So also let women with decorous simplicity of apparel, with modesty and with chastity, adorn themselves, not with braidings, and with gold, and with pearls, and with fine vestments,
[10]But with good works, as becometh women who profess the fear of Aloha.
[11]Let the wife in quietude learn with all submission:
[12]For unto the wife to teachⓘ I permit not, neither to be authoritativeⓘ over the husband, but to be in quietude.
[13]For Adam was formed first, then Hava;
[14]And Adam was not deceived, but the wife was deceived, and transgressed the commandment.
[15]But she is saved by her children, if they continue in faith, and in love, and in sanctification, and in chastity.
