¹I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:

¹Dakle, preporučujem prije svega da se obavljaju prošnje, molitve, molbenice i zahvalnice za sve ljude,

²for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

²za kraljeve i sve koji su na vlasti, da provodimo miran i spokojan život u svoj bogoljubnosti i ozbiljnosti.

³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

³To je dobro i ugodno pred Spasiteljem našim Bogom,

⁴who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

⁴koji hoće da se svi ljudi spase i dođu do spoznanja istine.

⁵For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

⁵Jer jedan je Bog, jedan je i posrednik između Boga i ljudi, čovjek - Krist Isus,

⁶who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;

⁶koji sebe samoga dade kao otkup za sve. To je u svoje vrijeme dano svjedočanstvo,

⁷to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

⁷za koje sam ja postavljen propovjednikom i apostolom - istinu govorim, ne lažem - učiteljem naroda u vjeri i istini.

⁸I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

⁸Hoću dakle da muškarci mole na svakome mjestu, podižući čiste ruke bez srdžbe i raspre;

⁹In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;

⁹isto tako žene - u doličnu držanju: neka se rese stidljivošću i razborom, ne pletenicama i zlatom ili biserjem ili skupocjenim odijelom,

¹⁰but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.

¹⁰nego - dobrim djelima, kako dolikuje ženama koje ispovijedaju bogoljubnost.

¹¹Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

¹¹Žena neka u miru prima pouku sa svom podložnošću.

¹²But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

¹²Poučavati pak ženi ne dopuštam, ni vladati nad mužem, nego - neka bude na miru.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹³Jer prvi je oblikovan Adam, onda Eva;

¹⁴Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

¹⁴i Adam nije zaveden, a žena je, zavedena, učinila prekršaj.

¹⁵but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.

¹⁵A spasit će se rađanjem djece ako ustraje u vjeri, ljubavi i posvećivanju, s razborom.
