1 Timothy 2

"

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

"
"

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

"
"

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

"
"

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

"
"

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

"
"

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

"
"

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

"
"

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

"
"

But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

"
"

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

"
"

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

"
"

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

"
"

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

"
"

Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

"
