¹ My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men; ² 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. ³ This is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour; ⁴ Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true. ⁵ For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, ⁶ Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time; ⁷ 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. ⁸ It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument. ⁹ 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; ¹⁰ But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God. ¹¹ Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority. ¹² 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. ¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve; ¹⁴ And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer. ¹⁵ But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.

¹ So putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk, ² Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation; ³ If you have had a taste of the grace of the Lord: ⁴ To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God; ⁵ You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame. ⁷ And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building; ⁸ And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God. ⁹ But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven. ¹⁰ In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you. ¹¹ My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul; ¹² Being of good behaviour among the Gentiles; so that though they say now that you are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give glory to God when he comes to be their judge. ¹³ Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all, ¹⁴ And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well. ¹⁵ Because it is God's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour: ¹⁶ As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God; ¹⁷ Have respect for all, loving the brothers, fearing God, honouring the king. ¹⁸ Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured. ¹⁹ For it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of God, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done. ²⁰ What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God. ²¹ This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps: ²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth: ²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness: ²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well. ²⁵ Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

¹ If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell. ² And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me. ⁴ Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride; ⁵ Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil; ⁶ It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true; ⁷ Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things. ⁸ Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end. ⁹ For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true: ¹⁰ But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary. ¹¹ When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child. ¹² For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me. ¹³ But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

²² But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.
