For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

WEB: 4WEB

WEB: 5WEB

WEB: 6WEB

who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,

WEB: 7WEB

to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

WEB: 8WEB

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
