A Conservative Version

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

2 : 2 for kings and all those who are in prominence, so that we may live a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and propriety.

2 : 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

2 : 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to knowledge of truth.

2 : 5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Jesus Christ,

2 : 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony for their own times.

2 : 7 For which I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie), a teacher of Gentiles in faith and truth.

2 : 8 I desire therefore the men to pray in every place, lifting up devout hands, apart from anger and argument.

2 : 9 And similarly, the women to adorn themselves in disciplined decorum, with reverence and sobriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive apparel,

2 : 10 but (which is fitting for women professing godliness) through good works.

2 : 11 Let a woman learn in silence in all subjection.

2 : 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to have authority of a man, 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, became in transgression.

2 : 15 But she will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
