La oración por toda la humanidad

Ante todo recomiendo que se hagan peticiones, oraciones, súplicas y acciones de gracias a Dios por toda la humanidad. Se debe orar por los que gobiernan y por todas las autoridades, para que podamos gozar de una vida tranquila y pacífica, con toda piedad y dignidad. Esto es bueno y agrada a Dios nuestro Salvador, pues él quiere que todos se salven y lleguen a conocer la verdad. Porque no hay más que un Dios, y un solo hombre que sea el mediador entre Dios y los hombres: Cristo Jesús. Porque él se entregó a la muerte como rescate por la salvación de todos y como testimonio dado por él a su debido tiempo. Para anunciar esto, yo he sido nombrado mensajero y apóstol, y se me ha encargado que enseñe acerca de la fe y de la verdad a los que no son judíos. Lo que digo es cierto; no miento.

La conducta de los hombres y las mujeres

Así pues, quiero que los hombres oren en todas partes, y que eleven sus manos a Dios con pureza de corazón y sin enojos ni discusiones. Y quiero que las mujeres se vistan decentemente, que se adornen con modestia y sencillez, no con peinados exagerados, ni con oro, perlas o vestidos costosos. 10 Que su adorno sean las buenas obras, como corresponde a las mujeres que quieren honrar a Dios. 11 La mujer debe escuchar la instrucción en silencio, con toda sumisión; 12 y no permito que la mujer enseñe en público ni domine al hombre. Quiero que permanezca callada, 13 porque Dios hizo primero a Adán y después a Eva; 14 y Adán no fue el engañado, sino la mujer; y al ser engañada, cayó en pecado. 15 Pero la mujer se salvará si cumple sus deberes como madre, y si con buen juicio se mantiene en la fe, el amor y la santidad.

Instructions on Worship

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,(A) intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority,(B) that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness(C) and holiness. This is good, and pleases(D) God our Savior,(E) who wants(F) all people(G) to be saved(H) and to come to a knowledge of the truth.(I) For there is one God(J) and one mediator(K) between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,(L) who gave himself as a ransom(M) for all people. This has now been witnessed to(N) at the proper time.(O) And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying(P)—and a true and faithful teacher(Q) of the Gentiles.(R)

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands(S) 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,(T) 10 but with good deeds,(U) appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission.(V) 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet.(W) 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.(X) 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.(Y) 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love(Z) and holiness with propriety.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
