Prayer to be made for all persons, since the mercy and favour of the gospel makes no difference of ranks or stations

My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men; I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:
For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour. for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
This is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour; For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true. who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time; who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith. 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.

How men and women ought to behave, both in their religious and common life

It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument. I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price; In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;
But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God. but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority. Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet. But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve; For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer. Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth. but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
