First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
ὑπὲρ βασιλέων καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐν ὑπεροχῇ ὄντων, ἵνα ἤρεμον καὶ ἡσύχιον βίον διάγωμεν ἐν πάσῃ εὐσεβείᾳ καὶ σεμνότητι.
for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

εἰς ὃ ἐτέθην ἐγὼ κῆρυξ καὶ ἀπόστολος— ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ ψεύδομαι— διδάσκαλος ἐθνῶν ἐν πίστει καὶ ἀληθείᾳ.

Where unto 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.
Βούλομαι οὖν προσεύχεσθαι τοὺς ἄνδρας ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, ἐπαίροντας ὁσίους χεῖρας χωρὶς ὀργῆς καὶ διαλογισμοῦ.

ὡσαύτως καὶ γυναῖκας ἐν καταστολῇ κοσμίῳ μετὰ αἰδοῦς καὶ σωφροσύνης κοσμεῖν ἑαυτάς, μὴ ἐν πλέγμασιν καὶ χρυσίῳ ἢ μαργαρίταις ἢ ἱματισμῷ πολυτελεῖ,

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;

but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
γυνὴ ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ μανθανέτω ἐν πάσῃ ὑποταγῇ·
A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
διδάσκειν δὲ γυναικὶ οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω, οὐδὲ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός, ἀλλʼ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ.
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Ἀδὰμ γὰρ πρῶτος ἐπλάσθη, εἶτα Εὕα·
For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
