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.
