And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord which hath made me strong: for he counted me true, and put me in office,

when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief:

having faith and good conscience, which some have put away from them, and as concerning faith have made shipwreck.

but with such as becometh women that profess the worshipping of God through good works.

I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have authority over the man: but for to be in silence.

Also Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was in transgression.

not drunken, no fighter, not given to filthy lucre: but gentle, abhorring fighting, abhorring covetousness,

but having the mystery of the faith in pure conscience.

Even so must their wives be honest, not evil speakers: but sober, and faithful in all things.
