1 Timothy § 281
the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage a good war, having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, of whom are Hymenáeus and Alexander, whom I delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme… Therefore I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; in like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire, but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works. Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobriety.

§ 44
Mark 10.11-16 § 44
And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην, μοιχᾶται ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν·
И҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: [Заⷱ҇ 44] и҆́же а҆́ще пꙋ́ститъ женꙋ̀ свою̀ и҆ ѡ҆же́нитсѧ и҆но́ю, прелюбы̀ твори́тъ на ню̀:
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
καὶ ἐὰν γυνὴ ἀπολύσασα τὸν ἄνδρα γαμηθῇ ἄλλῳ, μοιχᾶται.
и҆ а҆́ще жена̀ пꙋ́ститъ мꙋ́жа {мꙋ́жа своего̀} и҆ посѧ́гнетъ за и҆но́го, прелюбы̀ твори́тъ.
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
Καὶ προσέφερον αὐτῷ παιδία, ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅψηται· οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμων τοῖς προσφέρουσιν.
И҆ приноша́хꙋ къ немꙋ̀ дѣ́ти, да ко́снетсѧ и҆́хъ: ᲂу҆чн҃цы́ же преща́хꙋ приносѧ́щымъ.
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἠγανάκτησε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με, καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά· τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Ви́дѣвъ же і҆и҃съ негодова̀ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ѡ҆ста́вите дѣте́й приходи́ти ко мнѣ̀ и҆ не брани́те и҆̀мъ, тацѣ́хъ бо є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе:
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἐὰν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.
а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ: и҆́же а҆́ще не прїи́метъ црⷭ҇твїѧ бж҃їѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆троча̀, не и҆́мать вни́ти въ нѐ.
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὰ κατηυλόγει τιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ᾿ αὐτά.
И҆ ѡ҆б̾е́мь и҆̀хъ, возло́жь рꙋ́цѣ на ни́хъ, блгⷭ҇влѧ́ше и҆̀хъ.
