[1] I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men, [2] for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. [3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, [4] who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. [5] For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, [6] who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time, [7] to 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. [8] I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting. [9] In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, notⓘ with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing, [10] but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness. [11] Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission. [12] But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness. [13] For Adam was formed first, then Eve. [14] Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience; [15] but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.

  1. ⓘ 2:9 The word for “not” is the negative particle “μη” which denies an expected idea, as opposed to the usual word for “not” (ου) which denies a fact. Thus “μη” in this context is denying an expected idea (that women can be properly dressed without good works).
King James Version
[1] I exhort G3870§ therefore, G3767 that, G4160 first G4412 of all, G3956 supplications, G1162 prayers, G4335 intercessions, G1783 and giving of thanks, G2169 be made G4160 for G5228 all G3956 men; G444 [2] for G5228 kings, G935 and G2532 for all G3956 that are G5607 in G1722 authority; G5247§ that G2443 we may lead G1236 a quiet G2263 and G2532 peaceable G2272 life G979 in G1722 all G3956 godliness G2150 and G2532 honesty. G4587 [3] For G1063 this G5124 is good G2570 and G2532 acceptable G587 in the sight G1799 of God G2316 our G2257 Saviour; G4990 [4] who G3739 will have G2309 all G3956 men G444 to be saved, G4982 and G2532 to come G2064 unto G1519 the knowledge G1922 of the truth. G225 [5] For G1063 there is one G1520 God, G2316 and G2532 one G1520 mediator G3316 between God G2316 and G2532 men, G444 the man G444 Christ G5547 Jesus; G2424 [6] who G3588 gave G1325 himself G1438 a ransom G487 for G5228 all, G3956 to be testified G3142§ in due G2398 time. G2540 [7] Whereunto G1519 G3739 I G1473 am ordained G5087 a preacher, G2783 and G2532 an apostle, G652 (I speak G3004 the truth G225 in G1722 Christ, G5547 and lie G5574 not;) G3756 a teacher G1320 of the Gentiles G1484 in G1722 faith G4102 and G2532 verity. G225 [8] I will G1014 therefore G3767 that G4336 men G435 pray G4336 G1722 every G3956 where, G5117 lifting up G1869 holy G3741 hands, G5495 without G5565 wrath G3709 and G2532 doubting. G1261 [9] In like manner G5615 also, G2532 that G2885 women G1135 adorn G2885 themselves G1438 in G1722 modest G2887 apparel, G2689 with G3326 shamefacedness G127 and G2532 sobriety; G4997 not G3361 with G1722 broided§ hair, G4117 or G2228 gold, G5557 or G2228 pearls, G3135 or G2228 costly G4185 array; G2441 [10] but G235 (which G3739 becometh G4241 women G1135 professing G1861 godliness) G2317 with G1223 good G18 works. G2041 [11] Let G3129 the woman G1135 learn G3129 in G1722 silence G2271 with G1722 all G3956 subjection. G5292 [12] But G1161 I suffer G2010 not G3756 a woman G1135 to teach, G1321 nor G3761 to usurp authority G831 over the man, G435 but G235 to be G1511 in G1722 silence. G2271 [13] For G1063 Adam G76 was G4111 first G4413 formed, G4111 then G1534 Eve. G2096 [14] And G2532 Adam G76 was G538 not G3756 deceived, G538 but G1161 the G3588 woman G1135 being deceived G538 was G1096 in G1722 the transgression. G3847 [15] Notwithstanding G1161 she shall be saved G4982 in G1223 childbearing, G5042 if G1437 they continue G3306 in G1722 faith G4102 and G2532 charity G26 and G2532 holiness G38 with G3326 sobriety.
