I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing

 1 Timothy 2:1-15

First of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people. for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.  But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

Prayer is of prime importance. That means prayer for the authorities if Christians are to lead the kind of peaceable lives which allow them to concentrate on making the Good news known to everyone, as God intends.

In the assembly, the men are to pray without anger or argument. Christian women are to be conduct-conscious, not clothes-mad, and must not lord it over the men. The Christian message upgraded the status of women. Men and women are equal in his sight, but their toles are not identical. Paul is not singling women out for special censure here. He is evenhanded, correcting abuses in worship, both by grumbling men and usurping and untrained women.

Why?

As a Christian have to pray, not only pray for us, but for all people, the kings, and all those in authority.

There is not one between God and us, except the Jesus Christ only. Our Savior wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For God is love.

There were some false teaching and lie to lead people to turn to them, instead of the truth.

為萬人禱告：祝福與感謝。我們比較少為別人祝福。可以擴展自己的心胸，更符合神的心意。因為願意萬人得救！關心神所關心的事，是神所喜悅的。耶穌的死是為世界上所有的人。在屬靈的觀點比政府看的更高更遠來為政府禱告。不是為某些事不合我們的意禱告，其實是為自己喜好禱告。

男人與女人的次序： 男人喜歡當帶頭者，當提出不同意見時，就是在當領袖。私下的評論也是。當人如此也會去評論教會，此造成不好的酵。當舉起聖潔的手來禱告。

不許女人講道引起爭論。應該連後面這句話加起來的。我不許女人講道，也不許他轄管男人。這裏是指不允許女人指導男人，管轄男人。保羅沒有說不准女人講道。男人是站在指導，教導的地位，女人是站在順服、幫助丈夫的角色。當時可能女人一直想要當帶頭的角色。一些帶頭的責任、位份是弟兄應該摃起的責任。不要想說太太可以擔當而輕視自己該承擔的責任。
