¹要为万人祷告

¹I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

²

²for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

³在我们的救主　神看来，这是美好的，可蒙悦纳的。

³for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

⁴他愿意万人得救，并且充分认识真理。

⁴who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

⁵因为　神只有一位，在　神和人中间也只有一位中保，就是降世为人的基督耶稣。

⁵for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

⁶他舍了自己作万人的赎价，到了适当的时候，这事就证实了。

⁶who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —

⁷为了这事，我也被派作传道的和使徒（我说的是真话，不是谎言），在信仰和真理上作外族人的教师。

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.

⁸敬畏　神的女人因此，我愿意男人没有忿怒，没有争论，举起圣洁的手随处祷告。

⁸I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

⁹照样，我也愿意女人以端正、娴淑、自律为装饰；不要以鬈发、金饰、珠宝，或名贵衣裳为装饰，

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,

¹⁰却要以善行作装饰，这才配称为敬畏　神的女人。

¹⁰but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.

¹¹女人应该安静而又完全顺服地学习。

¹¹Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

¹²我不准女人教训男人，辖制男人；女人总要安静。

¹²and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

¹³因为先造的是亚当，后造的是夏娃；

¹³for Adam was first formed, then Eve,

¹⁴不是亚当受了引诱，而是女人受了引诱，陷在过犯里面。

¹⁴and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

¹⁵然而女人要是常常存着信心、爱心、圣洁自律，在她生育的事上必定得救。

¹⁵and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
