Current revision

• 1 I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giuing of thanks be made for all men:
• 2 For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honestie.
• 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,
• 4 Who will haue all men to bee saued, and to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.
• 5 For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and men, the man Christ Iesus,
• 6 Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all, to be testified in due time.
• 7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an Apostle (I speake the trueth in Christ, and lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and veritie.
• 8 I will therefore that men pray euery where, lifting vp holy handes without wrath, and doubting.
• 9 In like maner also, that women adorne themselues in modest apparell, with shamefastnesse and sobrietie, not with broided haire, or gold, or pearles, or costly aray,
• 10 But (which becommeth women professing godlines) with good works.
• 11 Let the woman learne in silence with all subiection:
• 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to vsurpe authoritie ouer the man, but to be in silence.
• 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eue:
• 14 And Adam was not deceiued, but the woman being deceiued was in the transgression:
• 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saued in child-bearing, if they continue in faith and charitie, and holinesse, with sobrietie.
