Instructions on Prayer and the Role of Women in the Assembly

1 Therefore I urge, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all people,
2 for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3 This is good and acceptable before God our Savior,
4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and people, a man, Christ Jesus,
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony in its own times,
7 for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I speak truth, I do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Instructions For Men and Women in Worship

8 Therefore I desire that the men in every place should pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
9 Likewise also, women are to adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,
10 but with what is fitting for women professing godliness, through good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness, in all submission.
12 But I do not permit a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, fell into transgression.
15 But she will be saved through childbearing, if they remain in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
