| [1]I Exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men, |
[1]I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men: |
| [2]For Kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty. |
[2]for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity, |
| [3]For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, |
[3]for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour, |
| [4]Who will that all men shall be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth. |
[4]who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth; |
| [5]For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, which is the man Christ Jesus, |
[5]for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus, |
| [6]Who gave himself a ransom for all men, to be a testimony in due time, |
[6]who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times -- |
| [7]Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an Apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not) even a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. |
[7]in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle -- truth I say in Christ, I do not lie -- a teacher of nations, in faith and truth. |
| [8]I will therefore that the men pray, everywhere lifting up pure hands without wrath, or doubting. |
[8]I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning; |
| [9]Likewise also the women, that they array themselves in comely apparel, with shamefacedness and modesty, not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly apparel, |
[9]in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price, |
| [10]But (as becometh women that profess the fear of God) with good works. |
[10]but -- which becometh women professing godly piety -- through good works. |
| [11]Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. |
[11]Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection, |
| [12]I permit not a woman to teach, neither to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. |
[12]and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness, |
| [13]For Adam was first formed, then Eve. |
[13]for Adam was first formed, then Eve, |
| [14]And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was in the transgression. |
[14]and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came, |
| [15]Notwithstanding, through bearing of children she shall be saved if they continue in faith, and love, and holiness with modesty. |
[15]and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety. |
