I urge prayers for all, 'specially those who head, That there be peace; God wants this, and the gospel spread. There's but one mediator between God and us, Who gave Himself a ransom for all: Christ Jesus! For Whom I'm ordained an apostle, a preacher And to the Gentiles, in faith and truth, a teacher. I wish all men, lifting up holy hands, would pray, And women good works, rather than fine clothes, display. Let them man's authority quietly receive: Adam was formed first, and deception came to Eve. Still, women shall be saved in their childbearing role If they make faith and love and holiness their goal.
