So, first of all, I ask you to perform prayers, petitions, prayers, thanksgiving for all people,
for kings and for all rulers, in order to lead us a quiet and serene life in all piety and purity,
for it is good and pleasing to our Savior God,
Who wants all people to be saved and reach the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God, one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
who gave himself up for the redemption of all. Such was the testimony at one time,
for whom I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Therefore, I wish that men would say prayers at every place, raising their clean hands without anger and doubt;
so that also the wives, in decent attire, with modesty and chastity, adorn themselves not with braiding of hair, not with gold, not with pearls, not with garments of great value,
but by good deeds, as befits women who devote themselves to piety.
Let the wife study in silence, with all submission;
but I do not allow my wife to teach, nor to rule over her husband, but to be in silence.
For Adam was created first, and then Eve;
and Adam is not deceived; but the wife, being deceived, fell into transgression;
however, he will be saved through childbearing, if he abides in faith and love and in holiness with chastity.
