2:1 Expectations for behaviour
2 Then first of all I urge you all to pray for all people—petitioning to God while also expressing thanks for them. 2 So too for kings and other prominent officials so that we can live a quiet and tranquil life with all devoutness and dignity. 3 This is good and pleasing to God our saviour 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to know the truth.[ref] 5 There’s only one God and also one mediator between God and humankind and that’s the man Yeshua the messiah 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people and as a testimony of God’s love for all time. 7 I was appointed[ref] to proclaim that message and as an missionary—no lies, I’m telling you the truth here in the messiah—and also as a teacher of knowledge and the truth to non-Jews.
8 That’s why I long to see men praying in every country, lifting up their morally-clean hands and not harbouring anger or disunity.
9 Similarly women should wear respectable clothes that are sensible and modest,[ref] not with braids or gold or pearls or expensive clothing 10 but with what is fitting for women who do good things, having declared that they honour God. 11 Women should be learning quietly and submissively, 12 but I don’t permit women to be teaching or domineering men. They should remain quiet 13 because Adam was created first, then Eve,[ref] 14 and it wasn’t Adam that was seduced but rather it was the woman that was deceived and disobeyed.[ref] 15 But women will be saved through childbearing if they continue in faith and love and purity and self-control.
