¹ I exhort thee, therefore, first of all, that thou present to God supplication, and prayer, and intercession, and thanksgiving, for all men:² for kings and magistrates, that we may dwell in a quiet and tranquil habitation, with all reverence for God, and with purity.³ For this is good and acceptable before God our life-giver;⁴ who would have all men live, and be converted to the knowledge of the truth.⁵ 5 For God is one; and the mediator between God and men is one, [fn] the man Jesus the Messiah; ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time,⁷ of which I am constituted a herald and legate. I speak the truth, and do not lie, for I am the teacher of the Gentiles in the belief of the truth.⁸ I desire therefore, that men may pray in every place, while they lift up their hands with purity, without wrath, and without disputations.

⁹

9 So also, that women [fn] in a chaste fashion of dress; and that their adorning be with modesty and chastity; not with curls, or with gold, or with pearls, or with splendid robes; ¹⁰ but with good works, as becometh women who profess reverence for God.¹¹ Let a woman learn in silence, with all submission:¹² for I do not allow a woman to teach, or to be assuming over the man; but let her remain in stillness.¹³ For Adam was first formed, and then Eve.¹⁴ And Adam was not seduced, but the woman was seduced and transgressed the command.¹⁵ Yet she shall live by means of her children, if they continue in the faith, and in love, and in sanctity, and in chastity.
