1 Timoteo 2
La Bibbia della Gioia
Come e per che cosa si deve pregare
2 Mi raccomando, dunque, prima di ogni altra cosa, che si facciano domande, preghiere, intercessioni e ringraziamenti per tutti gli uomini.
2 Pregate per i re e per tutti quelli che sono al potere e che hanno grandi responsabilità, affinché si possa vivere tutti in pace una vita serena e dedicata al Signore. 3 Questa è una cosa buona che piace a Dio, nostro Salvatore. 4 Egli vuole che tutti gli uomini siano salvati e comprendano la verità fino in fondo. 5 Cʼè un unico Dio, Egli sta da una parte, mentre tutti gli uomini sono dalla parte opposta, e cʼè un solo mediatore che può riunire gli uomini a Dio: Gesù Cristo uomo, 6 che ha dato la vita come prezzo di riscatto per tutti noi.
Questo è il messaggio che, al momento opportuno, Dio ha dato al mondo. 7 Per questo io sono stato scelto come araldo e apostolo di Dio, per insegnare questa verità ai pagani e indicar loro come possono essere salvati per mezzo della fede. È la pura verità. 8 Io voglio dunque che in qualsiasi luogo, gli uomini preghino, alzando al cielo mani pure, senza collera, né discussioni. 9-10 Così pure voglio che le donne si vestano in modo decoroso, con pudore e modestia. Le donne cristiane devono essere notate per la loro bontà e gentilezza, come si conviene a donne che dicono di amare Dio, non per il modo in cui si acconciano i capelli, né per i gioielli o i vestiti eleganti. 11 Devono ascoltare e imparare in silenzio e con umiltà.
12 Non permetto a nessuna donna dʼinsegnare, né di comandare al marito; le donne devono starsene tranquille. 13 Perché? Perché Dio creò per primo Adamo e poi Eva. 14 E non fu Adamo a lasciarsi ingannare da Satana, ma Eva, che si rese colpevole di peccato. 15 Perciò Dio mandò alle donne i dolori del parto. Tuttavia salverà la loro anima, a condizione che perseverino nella fede, nellʼamore e nella sottomissione a Dio.
1 Timothy 2
New King James Version
Pray for All Men
2 Therefore I [a]exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 (A)for kings and (B)all who are in [b]authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and [c]reverence. 3 For this is (C)good and acceptable in the sight (D)of God our Savior, 4 (E)who desires all men to be saved (F)and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 (G)For there is one God and (H)one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 (I)who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 (J)for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth [d]in Christ and not lying—(K)a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Men and Women in the Church
8 I desire therefore that the men pray (L)everywhere, (M)lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 9 in like manner also, that the (N)women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and [e]moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 (O)but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. 11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 And (P)I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

English Standard Version
Pray for All People
2 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 (A)for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and (B)dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and (C)it is pleasing in the sight of (D)God our Savior, 4 who desires (E)all people to be saved and (F)to come to (G)the knowledge of the truth. 5 For (H)there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[a] Christ Jesus, 6 (I)who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is (J)the testimony given (K)at the proper time. 7 (L)For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ((M)I am telling the truth, I am not lying), (N)a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I desire then that (O)in every place the men should pray, (P)lifting (Q)holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also (R)that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 (S)but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. 11 Let a woman learn quietly (T)with all submissiveness. 12 (U)I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 (V)For Adam was formed first, (W)then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but (X)the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through (Y)childbearing—if they continue in (Z)faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
