Context
Prayer for All People
2:1 First of all , then , I urge that requests , prayers , intercessions , and thanks be offered on behalf of all people ,
2:2 even for kings and all who are in authority , that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity .
2:3 Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior ,
2:4 since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth .
2:5 For there is one God and one intermediary between God and humanity , Christ Jesus , himself human ,
2:6 who gave himself as a ransom for all , revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time .
2:7 For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle – I am telling the truth ; I am not lying – and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth .
2:8 So I want the men to pray in every place , lifting up holy hands without anger or dispute .
Conduct of Women
2:9 Likewise the women are to dress in suitable apparel , with modesty and self-control . Their adornment must not be with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive clothing ,
2:10 but with good deeds , as is proper for women who profess reverence for God .
