2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
for kings, and all that are in a state of eminence, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and seriousness.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,

7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
in like manner also that the women dress themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with plaited tresses, or gold, or pearls, or very costly clothing,
10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
but as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection:
12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
for I permit not a woman to teach in public, or to assume authority over the man, but to abide in silence.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
For Adam was first formed, Eve afterwards.
14 Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, by transgression fell.
15 but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
But she shall be saved through childbearing, if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness with sobriety.
