CHAPTER 2 Pray for All Men

1 I appeal then, first of all to make supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankfulnesses for all men; 2 for kings, and all of the ones [²in ³superiority ¹being], that a calm and unassuming existence should be led in all piety and seriousness. 3 For this is good and worthy of being received before [²our deliverer ¹God]; 4 who [²all ³men ¹wants] to be delivered, and [²to ³full knowledge ⁴of truth ¹to come]. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men -- the man Christ Jesus; 6 the one giving himself a ransom for all, the testimony to be rendered [²times ¹in its own]; 7 to which I was established a herald and apostle (truth I speak in Christ, I do not lie) a teacher of the nations in belief and truth. 8 I want then [³to pray ¹for the ²men] in every place, lifting up sacred hands, separate from anger and arguing.

Instructions to Wives

9 Likewise also the wives in [²apparel ¹composed] with respect and discreetness to adorn themselves, not in laces or gold or pearls or [²clothes ¹very costly], 10 but what is becoming to wives promising godliness through [²works ¹good]. 11 [²a wife ⁴at ⁵rest ¹Let ³learn] in all submission! 12 And a wife [⁴to teach ²not ¹I commit ³to their care], nor to domineer a husband, but to be at rest. 13 For Adam first was shaped, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the wife having been deceived, [²in ³violation ¹has become]. 15 But she shall be preserved through the childbearing, if they abide in belief, and love, and sanctification, with discreetness.
