A Call to Prayer

First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in (a)2:2 Or a high positionauthority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and (b)2:2 Or seriousnessdignity. Jer 29:7This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the (c)2:4 Or recognitionknowledge of the truth. Ezk 18:32; Ezk 33:11; 2Pe 3:9For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony (d)2:6 Or to be givengiven at (e)2:6 Lit its own timesthe proper time. Mat 20:28; Gal 1:4For this I was appointed as a (f)2:7 Or heraldpreacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.Act 22:21; 2Ti 1:11

Instructions for Believers

Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger and dispute. Mat 6:14; Jas 1:6Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, (g)2:9 Lit with modestymodestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, 1Pe 3:3but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. Gen 3:16But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 1Co 14:34For it was Adam who was first (h)2:13 Or formedcreated, and then Eve. Gen 1:27And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was (i)2:14 Or thoroughly deceiveddeceived and (j)2:14 Lit has becomebecame a wrongdoer. Gen 3:6But (k)2:15 Lit shewomen will be (l)2:15 Or savedpreserved through (m)2:15 Or the childbirth; or the bearing of childrenchildbirth—if they continue in faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation.
