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

¹Mai anglal, mangav tumendar te rhugin tume but pala sa le manushenge ai te naisin leske anda sa le manush.

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

²Trobul te rhugisavas andal amperatsi, ai anda sa kodola kai poronchin, saxke te avel ame iek traio lasho ai trankilo, ai te traiisaras vorta angla Del.

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

³Ke kodia si vorta drago le Devleske amaro skepitori,

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

⁴ke wo mangel sa le manush te aven skepime, ai te zhanen o chachimos.

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

⁵Ke ferdi iek Del si, ai iek manush kai anel andek than le manushen ai le Devles, kodo manush si O Jesus Kristo.

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

⁶Ke wo diape te pochinel te aven savorhe skepime. Ai mangliape vriama kai sas thodini te sikavel ke O Del mangel sa le manush te aven skepime,

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.

⁷anda kodia me o Pavlo, ek pasturi ai ek apostle tradino sim te sicharel kodolen kai Nai Zhiduvuria pa pachamos ai pa chachimos. Chi xoxavav, o chachimos phenav!

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

⁸Mangav vari kai le manush te rhuginpe, te vazden le vas te rhuginpe vuzhe ilesa, bi xoliariko ai bi chingarako.

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;

⁹Ai mangav vi le zhuvlia te vuriarenpe malades, prostovanes, ai te na keren barimata penge balensa, ai te na thon pe pende but sumnakai, perli, vai tsalia kai si kuchi.

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

¹⁰Numa te keren lashe dieli sar zhuvlia kai mothon ke pachanpe ando Del, ai keren leski buchi.

¹¹Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

¹¹Le zhuvlia trobul te ashunen, ai te sichon ando kalmo, ai te keren so si lenge phendo.

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

¹²Chi mangav e zhuvli te sicharel, vai te poronchil po mursh, numa te na phenen kanchi.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹³Ke chaches o Adam sas kerdo o pervo, ai Eve pala leste.

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

¹⁴Ai o Adam nas atsado, numa e Eve sas atsadi, ai sas doshali angla Del.

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

¹⁵Numa e zhuvli avela skepime kana avela la glati , numa te inkerela ando pachamos, ande dragostia, ai ando vuzhimos, ai ando prostomo.
