5. For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man Christ Jesus,
6. who gave himself to redeem everyone. That was the proof at the right time that God wants everyone to be saved,
7. and that is why I was sent as an apostle and teacher of the Gentiles, to proclaim the message of faith and truth. I am not lying; I am telling the truth!
8. In every church service I want the men to pray, men who are dedicated to God and can lift up their hands in prayer without anger or argument.
9. I also want the women to be modest and sensible about their clothes and to dress properly; not with fancy hair styles or with gold ornaments or pearls or expensive dresses,
10. but with good deeds, as is proper for women who claim to be religious.
11. Women should learn in silence and all humility.
12. I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet.
