| 2:1 | First of all, then, I urge that requests,* prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people,* |
| 2:2 | even for kings* and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. |
| 2:3 | Such prayer for all* is good and welcomed before God our Savior, |
| 2:4 | since he wants* all people* to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. |
| 2:5 | For there is one God and one intermediary* between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human,* |
| 2:6 | who gave himself as a ransom for all, revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time.* |
| 2:7 | For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle – I am telling the truth;* I am not lying – and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. |
| 2:8 | So I want the men* to pray* in every place, lifting up holy hands* without anger or dispute. |
| 2:9 | Likewise* the women are to dress* in suitable apparel, with modesty and self-control.* Their adornment must not be* with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive clothing, |
| 2:10 | but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God. |
| 2:11 | A woman must learn* quietly with all submissiveness. |
| 2:12 | But I do not allow* a woman to teach or exercise authority* over a man. She must remain quiet.* |
| 2:13 | For Adam was formed first and then Eve. |
| 2:14 | And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was fully deceived,* fell into transgression.* |
| 2:15 | But she will be delivered through childbearing,* if she* continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control. |
