Instrucciones sobre la oración

Exhorto, pues, ante todo, a que se hagan rogativas, oraciones, peticiones y acciones de gracias, por todos los hombres;

por los reyes y por todos los que están en eminencia, para que podamos vivir una vida tranquila y apacible con toda piedad y dignidad.

Porque esto es bueno y agradable delante de Dios nuestro Salvador,

el cual quiere que todos los hombres sean salvos y vengan al conocimiento de la verdad.

Porque hay un solo Dios, y un solo mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Jesucristo hombre,

el cual se dio a sí mismo en rescate por todos, de lo cual se dio testimonio a su debido tiempo.

Para lo cual yo fui puesto como predicador y apóstol (digo verdad en Cristo, no miento), y maestro de los gentiles en fe y verdad.

Quiero, pues, que los hombres oren en todo lugar, levantando manos santas, sin ira ni contienda.

Asimismo que las mujeres se atavíen con ropa decorosa, con pudor y modestia; no con peinado ostentoso, ni oro, ni perlas, ni vestidos costosos,

10 sino con buenas obras, como corresponde a mujeres que profesan piedad.

11 La mujer aprenda en silencio, con toda sumisión.

12 Porque no permito a la mujer enseñar, ni ejercer dominio sobre el hombre, sino estar en silencio.

13 Porque Adán fue formado primero, después Eva;

14 y Adán no fue engañado, sino que la mujer, siendo engañada, incurrió en transgresión.

15 Pero se salvará engendrando hijos, si permanece en fe, amor y santificación, con modestia.

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.

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.
