1 Timothy (1 Ti) 2
2
1First of all, then, I counsel that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all human beings, 2including kings and all in positions of prominence; so that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives, being godly and upright in everything. 3This is what God, our Deliverer, regards as good; this is what meets his approval.
4He wants all humanity to be delivered and come to full knowledge of the truth. 5For God is one; and there is but one Mediator between God and humanity, Yeshua the Messiah, himself human, 6who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all, thus providing testimony to God’s purpose at just the right time. 7This is why I myself was appointed a proclaimer, even an emissary — I am telling the truth, not lying! — a trustworthy and truthful teacher of the Goyim.
8Therefore, it is my wish that when the men pray, no matter where, they should lift up hands that are holy — they should not become angry or get into arguments.
9Likewise, the women, when they pray, should be dressed modestly and sensibly in respectable attire, not with elaborate hairstyles and gold jewelry, or pearls, or expensive clothes. 10Rather, they should adorn themselves with what is appropriate for women who claim to be worshipping God, namely, good deeds.
11Let a woman learn in peace, fully submitted; 12but I do not permit a woman to teach a man or exercise authority over him; rather, she is to remain at peace. 13For Adam was formed first, then Havah. 14Also it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who, on being deceived, became involved in the transgression. 15Nevertheless, the woman will be delivered through childbearing, provided that she continues trusting, loving and living a holy life with modesty.

1I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
2for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
3for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
4who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
5for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
6who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —
7in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
8I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;
9in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,
10but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.
11Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,
12and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
13for Adam was first formed, then Eve,
14and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,
15and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
