\v 1 Most importantly, because false teachers are dangerous, I urge all the believers to ask God and pray to him to help all people, and to thank him for them.
\v 2 Pray for kings and for everyone who has power over others, so that we may live quietly and peacefully in a way that we can honor God and other people.
\v 3 God, who saves us, listens to us when we pray like this. He sees it as good.
\v 4 He wants to save everyone. He wants everyone to learn what is true about him.
\v 1 The most important thing that I urge believers to do is to continually ask God for what they need. They should also pray to God for all other people, and they should be thanking God.
\v 2 They should pray for kings and for everyone who has power over others, so that we can live very peaceably as we do all that God and others consider to be right and proper.
\v 3 It is good to pray like that, and it pleases God, who saves us.
\v 4 He desires to save all people. He wants everyone to fully know and accept his true message.

\v 5 The truth is this, that there is one God, and there is only one person who can make us acceptable to him. Christ Jesus, the man, is this one person.
\v 6 He gave himself to set all people free—and that was the proof of what God was doing through Christ's death.
\v 7 To declare this truth, God made me a messenger and an apostle. I speak the truth; I am not lying. I teach the Gentiles the things that they should truly believe.
\v 5 He is the only one true God! And there is only one person who talks to God on behalf of people. That person is Christ Jesus, who himself is a man!
\v 6 He gave his life as a sacrifice in order to ransom all people, which showed at the proper time that God desires to save all people.
\v 7 God appointed me to declare this message and to be an apostle. I am telling the truth and am not lying! I teach the Gentiles that they should believe God's true message.

\v 8 Therefore, I want men everywhere to pray and to lift up their hands to God in a way that he will accept. Believers should not pray to show anger or doubt about God.
\v 9 I also want the women to dress themselves carefully. They should control themselves so that they do not dress to show themselves off to others. Instead of braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
\v 10 women should dress themselves in what is right for women who do good works and who say that they honor God.
\v 8 Therefore, I want men everywhere to pray and to lift up their hands to God in a way that he will accept. They should not be angry with anyone and they should not quarrel with anyone.
\v 9 Women should wear modest and sensible clothing, and should not fix their hair in fancy/elaborate ways, nor wear gold jewelry, nor pearls, nor expensive clothing.
\v 10 Instead, they should be doing things that women who claim to worship God should do; that is, they should be doing good deeds.

\v 11 When men are teaching the believers, women should listen quietly, and they should give respect to their teachers and do all they can to learn from them.
\v 12 I do not allow women to teach or to tell men what to do. Women who honor God keep quiet when the believers come to learn.
\v 11 Women should learn quietly from the leaders of the congregation, and fully subject themselves to them.
\v 12 I do not permit women to teach a man, nor to have authority over a man. Instead, women should listen quietly during the worship services.

\v 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve after him.
\v 14 And it was not Adam that the snake deceived. It was the woman whom he completely deceived, so that she sinned.
\v 15 But God will save women as they bear children, if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
\v 13 Keep in mind that God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve,
\v 14 and it was not Adam whom the snake deceived. It was the woman whom he completely deceived, so that she did what God had told her not to do.
\v 15 But now God will accept women as they bear children if they continue to believe God, and if they continue to love others, and if they continue to conduct their lives like God wants them to, and if they continue to be modest.
