A Call to Prayer
First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone— 2Th 1:3Mat 6:9-10Jas 5:16Eph 5:20Psa 67:1-41Ti 2:4Tit 3:22Ti 2:24 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. 1Pe 2:9-13Jer 29:7Ezr 6:10Rom 13:1-7Pro 24:211Th 4:11Heb 12:14Neh 1:11 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, Heb 13:161Pe 2:201Ti 1:1Rom 14:181Pe 2:51Th 4:1Col 1:10Luk 1:47 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Ezk 18:322Pe 3:9Ezk 18:23Tit 2:11Ezk 33:11Jhn 3:15-172Ti 2:25Rom 10:12-15
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1Co 8:6Gal 3:20Heb 9:15Heb 7:25Deu 6:4Heb 12:24Jhn 1:14Isa 44:6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time. Mat 20:281Pe 3:181Jn 2:1-21Jn 4:10Gal 4:4Rev 1:51Co 1:6Eph 5:2
For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything. Act 9:152Ti 1:11Rom 9:1Eph 3:7-8Rom 15:16Ecc 12:8-10Gal 1:16Gal 1:20 Therefore I want the men everywhere 1to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension. Psa 134:2Psa 63:4Heb 10:22Tit 3:8Jas 4:8Luk 24:501Pe 3:7Isa 1:15
Instructions to Women
Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 1Pe 3:3-5Tit 2:3-5Jer 4:30Psa 149:4Isa 3:162Ki 9:30Isa 3:18-24Jer 2:32 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God. 1Pe 2:121Pe 3:3-5Act 9:36Pro 31:31Rev 2:192Pe 1:6-82Pe 3:11Eph 2:10
A woman 2must learn in quietness and full submissiveness. 1Co 14:34-35Eph 5:22-241Co 11:3Col 3:181Pe 3:5-61Pe 3:1Gen 3:16Tit 2:5 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; 3 she is to remain quiet. 1Co 14:34 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve. 1Co 11:8-9Gen 2:18Gen 1:27Gen 2:22Gen 2:7 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression. 2Co 11:3Gen 3:6Gen 3:12-13 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control. Tit 2:121Pe 4:7Gen 3:15-161Ti 1:51Ti 2:9Isa 9:6Luk 2:10-11Isa 7:14
