54:001:019 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 54:001:020 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. 54:002:001 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 54:002:002 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 54:002:003 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 54:002:004 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 54:002:005 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 54:002:006 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 54:002:007 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 54:002:008 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 54:002:009 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 54:002:010 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 54:002:011 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 54:002:012 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 54:002:013 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 54:002:014 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 54:002:015 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 54:003:001 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 54:003:002 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 54:003:003 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 54:003:004 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 54:003:005 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 54:003:006 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 54:003:007 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
