1 Timothy Ch 2

CONDUCT OF MEN AND WOMEN : First of all, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for ALL men. especially for kings and those in authority. That we may be able to lead undisturbed and tranquil lives in perfect piety and dignity. Prayer of this kind is good, and God our savior is pleased with it.  For he wants ALL men to be saved and come to know the truth. And the truth is this:
"God is one, 
One also is the mediator between God and men. the man Christ Jesus, 
Who gave himself as a ransom FOR ALL." 
This truth was attested at the fitting time. I have been made its herald and apostle (believe me.  I am not lying but speak the truth.) the teacher of the nations in the true faith.
It is my wish , then, that in every place the men shall offer prayers with blameless hands held aloft, and be free from anger and dissension (strong disagreement.)  Similarly, the women must deport (to behave in a particular manner )themselves properly . They should dress  modestly and quietly, and not be decked out in fancy hair styles, gold ornaments, pearls, or costly clothing; rather, as becomes women who profess to be religious , their adornment should be good deeds. A woman must listen
 in silence and be completely submissive.  I do not permit a woman to act as teacher (be ahead of) or in any way to have authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was created first, Eve afterward; moreover, it was not Adam who was deceived but the woman. It was she who was let astray and fell into sin.  She will be saved through childbearing ,provided she continues in faith and love and holiness' her chastity being taken for granted.

Dear one's  Our Loving Lord, does not have favorites, He was born, and died for everyone. he wishes everyone to be saved, and drawn to Him and Him alone. 
"THE SPRINGS OF GOD'S DIVINE POWER, GUSH FORTH IN OUR WEAKNESSES. "
note; Teacher , in 1 Timothy Ch 2 verses 12 does not mean women can't teach, however it does mean of a woman's place or role in the Church.

PROVERBS CH; 3 VERSES 25-34  ATTITUDE TOWARD FELLOW MEN
Be not afraid of sudden terror,
of the ruin of the wicked when it comes;
 For the Lord will be your confidence, , and will keep your foot from the snare.
Refuse no one the good on which he has
a claim
when it is in your power to do it for him.
Say not to your neighbor, "Go and come again,
tomorrow I will give."when you can give at once.
Plot no evil against your neighbor.
against him who lives at peace with you.
Quarrel not with a man without cause.
with one who has done you no harm.
Envy not the lawless man
and choose none of his ways;
To the Lord the perverse (turned away from what is right or good) man is an abomination,
but with the upright is his friendship.
The curse of the Lord is on the house of
the wicked.
but the dwelling of the just he blesses.
When he is dealing with the arrogant, he is stern,
but to the humble he shows kindness.
