1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—
Παρακαλῶ οὖν πρῶτον πάντων ποιεῖσθαι δεήσεις, προσευχάς, ἐντεύξεις, εὐχαριστίας ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων,
2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.
ὑπὲρ βασιλέων καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐν ὑπεροχῇ ὄντων, ἵνα ἤρεμον καὶ ἡσύχιον βίον διάγωμεν ἐν πάσῃ εὐσεβείᾳ καὶ σεμνότητι.
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
τοῦτο γὰρ καλὸν καὶ ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν θεοῦ,
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
ὃς πάντας ἀνθρώπους θέλει σωθῆναι καὶ εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν.
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
Εἷς γὰρ θεός, εἷς καὶ μεσίτης θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἄνθρωπος Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
ὁ δοὺς ἑαυτὸν ἀντίλυτρον ὑπὲρ πάντων, τὸ μαρτύριον καιροῖς ἰδίοις,
7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.
εἰς ὃ ἐτέθην ἐγὼ κῆρυξ καὶ ἀπόστολος, ἀλήθειαν λέγω ἐν Χριστῷ, οὐ ψεύδομαι, διδάσκαλος ἐθνῶν ἐν πίστει καὶ ἀληθείᾳ.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
Βούλομαι οὖν προσεύχεσθαι τοὺς ἄνδρας ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ἐπαίροντας ὁσίους χεῖρας χωρὶς ὀργῆς καὶ διαλογισμοῦ·
9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
ὡσαύτως καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας ἐν καταστολῇ κοσμίῳ μετὰ αἰδοῦς καὶ σωφροσύνης κοσμεῖν ἑαυτάς, μὴ ἐν πλέγμασιν ἢ μαργαρίταις ἢ ἱματισμῷ πολυτελεῖ,
10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
ἀλλ᾽ ὃ πρέπει γυναιξὶν ἐπαγγελλομέναις θεοσέβειαν, δι᾽ ἔργων ἀγαθῶν.
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
γυνὴ ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ μανθανέτω ἐν πάσῃ ὑποταγῇ·
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
δὲ οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω οὐδὲ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρὸς ἀλλ᾽ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ.
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
Ἀδὰμ γὰρ πρῶτος ἐπλάσθη, εἶτα Εὕα.
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
καὶ Ἀδὰμ οὐκ ἠπατήθη, ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἐν παραβάσει γέγονεν·
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
σωθήσεται δὲ διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας ἐὰν μείνωσιν ἐν πίστει καὶ ἀγάπῃ καὶ ἁγιασμῷ μετὰ σωφροσύνης.
