About prayer
2
📚I exhort, therefore, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercessions✭, and giving of thanks✭, be made for all men✭, 2 📚✭for kings, and for all those in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.God’s desire for all men
3 📚✭For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, 4 📚✭who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
One God, one Mediator, one ransom
5 📚For there is one God✭, and one mediator✭ between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 📚who gave himself a ransom✭ for all✭, testimony about this given in due time✭.
7 📚For this I was appointed✭ a preacher and an apostle (I am speaking the truth in Christ, and am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles✭ in faith and truth.
8 📚So I want men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands✭,✭ without anger and doubting✭.
Proper behavior and dress for Christian women
9 📚✭In the same way I want women to dress in decent clothing, modestly and soberly; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly garments, 10 📚but with good works (which is proper for women professing godliness).
11 📚Let a woman learn in silence✭ with complete submission✭. 12 📚And I do not permit a woman to teach✭ or to have authority over the man, but to be silent. 13 📚✭For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 📚And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor✭. 15 📚✭However, she will be saved in childbirth, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
