Prayer for All People
Paul first ask make dem pray for everybody, including kings, because we Papa want make all people get salvation, and one mediator, Christ Jesus, give imself for all. Then make men pray without vex, and make women dress modest, learn quietly, and no teach.
2 1So, first of all, I dey beg say make una dey offer petition, prayer, intercession, and thanksgiving for all people, 2for kings and all wey dey for authority, so that we go fit live peaceful, quiet life for full godliness and dignity. 3Dis one good and e dey sweet our Papa belle, our Savior, 4wey want make all people save and come know di truth. 5Because na one Papa dey, and na one mediator dey between di Papa and mankind, di man Christ Jesus, 6wey give imself as ransom for all — di testimony wey dem give for di correct time. 7Na for dis one dem make me preacher and apostle — I dey talk di truth, I no dey lie — teacher of di nations for faith and truth. 8I want make di men for every place dey pray, dey raise up holy hand without anger or argument.
9Di same way, make di women dress well, with modesty and self-control, no be with plait-plait hair, gold, pearl, or clothes wey cost, 10but with good work, as e dey right for women wey talk say dem dey fear our Papa. 11Make a woman learn quietly, with full submission. 12I no dey allow a woman to teach or get authority over a man; instead, make she stay quiet. 13Because na Adam dem form first, before Eve. 14And no be Adam dem deceive, but na di woman dem deceive, and she come turn transgressor. 15But she go save through childbearing, if dem continue for faith, love, holiness, with self-control. a a v15 Di pronoun change from 'she' go 'they' — as e dey for di original — e fit dey point to women generally wey continue for dis virtues.
