1 Timoteo 2
Nueva Versión Internacional
Instrucciones sobre la adoración
2 Así que recomiendo, ante todo, que se hagan plegarias, oraciones, súplicas y acciones de gracias por todos, 2 por los reyes y por todas las autoridades, para que tengamos paz y tranquilidad, y llevemos una vida devota y digna. 3 Esto es bueno y agradable a Dios nuestro Salvador, 4 pues él quiere que todos sean salvos y lleguen a conocer la verdad. 5 Porque hay un solo Dios y un solo mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Jesucristo hombre, 6 quien dio su vida como rescate por todos. Este testimonio Dios lo ha dado a su debido tiempo, 7 y para proclamarlo me nombró heraldo y apóstol. Digo la verdad y no miento: Dios me hizo maestro de los no judíos para enseñarles la verdadera fe.
8 Quiero, pues, que en todas partes los hombres oren, levantando las manos al cielo con santidad, sin enojos ni contiendas.
9 En cuanto a las mujeres, quiero que ellas se vistan decorosamente, con modestia y recato, sin peinados ostentosos, ni oro, ni perlas, ni vestidos costosos. 10 Que se adornen más bien con buenas obras, como corresponde a mujeres que profesan servir a Dios.
11 La mujer debe aprender con serenidad,[a] con toda sumisión. 12 No permito que la mujer enseñe al hombre y ejerza autoridad sobre él; debe mantenerse ecuánime.[b] 13 Porque primero fue formado Adán, y Eva después. 14 Además, no fue Adán el engañado, sino la mujer; y ella, una vez engañada, incurrió en pecado. 15 Pero la mujer se salvará[c] siendo madre y si permanece con sensatez en la fe, el amor y la santidad.
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.
