Chapter 2
Liturgical prayer
1
My advice is that, first of all, there should be prayers offered for everyone – petitions, intercessions and thanksgiving –
2
and especially for kings and others in authority, so that we may be able to live religious and reverent lives in peace and quiet.
3
To do this is right, and will please God our saviour:
4
he wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth.
5
For there is only one God, and there is only one mediator between God and mankind, himself a man, Christ Jesus,
6
who sacrificed himself as a ransom for them all. He is the evidence of this, sent at the appointed time, and
7
I have been named a herald and apostle of it and – I am telling the truth and no lie – a teacher of the faith and the truth to the pagans.
8
In every place, then, I want the men to lift their hands up reverently in prayer, with no anger or argument.
Women in the assembly
9
Similarly, I direct that women are to wear suitable clothes and to be dressed quietly and modestly, without braided hair or gold and jewellery or expensive clothes; their adornment is
10
to do the sort of good works that are proper for women who profess to be religious.
11
During instruction, a woman should be quiet and respectful.
12
I am not giving permission for a woman to teach or to tell a man what to do. A woman ought not to speak,
13
because Adam was formed first and Eve afterwards,
14
and it was not Adam who was led astray but the woman who was led astray and fell into sin.
15
Nevertheless, she will be saved by childbearing, provided she lives a modest life and is constant in faith and love and holiness.
