1. I exhort G3870 therefore G3767 , that, first G4412 of all G3956 , supplications G1162 , prayers G4335 , intercessions G1783 , and giving of thanks G2169 , be made G4160 for G5228 all G3956 men G444 ;
|
|
2. You should pray for rulers and for all who have authority. Pray for these leaders so that we can live quiet and peaceful lives� lives full of devotion to God and respect for him.
|
2. For G5228 kings G935 , and G2532 for all G3956 that are G5607 in G1722 authority G5247 ; that G2443 we may lead G1236 a quiet G2263 and G2532 peaceable G2272 life G979 in G1722 all G3956 godliness G2150 and G2532 honesty G4587 .
|
|
3. This is good and pleases God our Savior.
|
3. For G1063 this G5124 is good G2570 and G2532 acceptable G587 in the sight G1799 of God G2316 our G2257 Savior G4990 ;
|
|
4. God wants everyone to be saved and to fully understand the truth.
|
4. Who G3739 will G2309 have all G3956 men G444 to be saved G4982 , and G2532 to come G2064 unto G1519 the knowledge G1922 of the truth G225 .
|
|
5. There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who as a man
|
5. For G1063 there is one G1520 God G2316 , and G2532 one G1520 mediator G3316 between God G2316 and G2532 men G444 , the man G444 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 ;
|
|
6. gave himself to pay for everyone to be free. This is the message that was given to us at just the right time.
|
6. Who gave G1325 himself G1438 a ransom G487 for G5228 all G3956 , to be testified G3142 in due G2398 time G2540 .
|
|
7. And I was chosen as an apostle to tell people that message. (I am telling the truth. I am not lying.) I was chosen to teach those who are not Jews to believe and understand the truth.
|
7. Whereunto G1519 G3739 I G1473 am ordained G5087 a preacher G2783 , and G2532 an apostle G652 , (I speak G3004 the truth G225 in G1722 Christ G5547 , and lie G5574 not G3756 ;) a teacher G1320 of the Gentiles G1484 in G1722 faith G4102 and G2532 verity G225 .

|
8. I want the men everywhere to pray. Men who lift their hands in prayer must be devoted to God and pleasing to him. They must be men who keep themselves from getting angry and having arguments.
|
8. I will G1014 therefore G3767 that men G435 pray G4336 every G3956 where G5117 , lifting up G1869 holy G3741 hands G5495 , without G5565 wrath G3709 and G2532 doubting G1261 .
|
|
9. And I want the women to make themselves attractive in the right way. Their clothes should be sensible and appropriate. They should not draw attention to themselves with fancy hairstyles or gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothes.
|
9. In like manner G5615 also G2532 , that women G1135 adorn G2885 themselves G1438 in G1722 modest G2887 apparel G2689 , with G3326 shamefacedness G127 and G2532 sobriety G4997 ; not G3361 with G1722 braided hair G4117 , or G2228 gold G5557 , or G2228 pearls G3135 , or G2228 costly G4185 array G2441 .
|
|
10. But they should make themselves attractive by the good things they do. That is more appropriate for women who say they are devoted to God.
|
10. But G235 ( which G3739 becometh G4241 women G1135 professing G1861 godliness G2317 ) with G1223 good G18 works G2041 .
|
|
11. A woman should learn while listening quietly and being completely willing to obey.

|
|
12. I don't allow a woman to teach a man or tell him what to do. She must listen quietly,
|
12. But G1161 I suffer G2010 not G3756 a woman G1135 to teach G1321 , nor G3761 to usurp authority over G831 the man G435 , but G235 to be G1511 in G1722 silence G2271 .

13. because Adam was made first. Eve was made later.
|
13. For G1063 Adam G76 was first G4413 formed G4111 , then G1534 Eve G2096 .
|
|
14. Also, Adam was not the one who was tricked. It was the woman who was tricked and became a sinner.
|
14. And G2532 Adam G76 was not G3756 deceived G538 , but G1161 the G3588 woman G1135 being deceived G538 was G1096 in G1722 the transgression G3847 .
|
|
15. But women will be saved in their work of having children. They will be saved if they continue to live in faith, love, and holiness with sensible behavior.
|
15. Notwithstanding G1161 she shall be saved G4982 in G1223 childbearing G5042 , if G1437 they continue G3306 in G1722 faith G4102 and G2532 charity G26 and G2532 holiness G38 with G3326 sobriety G4997 .
