2:1  I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

2:2  for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

2:3  for this `is' right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

2:4  who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

2:5  for one `is' God, one also `is' mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

2:6  who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times --

2:7  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.

2:8  I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

2:9  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,

2:10  but -- which becometh women professing godly piety -- through good works.

2:11  Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

2:12  and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

2:13  for Adam was first formed, then Eve,

2:14  and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

2:15  and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
