1 Timoteo 2
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Acerca de la oración
2 En primer lugar pido que se ore por todos, que se pida a Dios que supla las necesidades de la gente y bendiga a la humanidad. Oren también agradeciendo a Dios la respuesta a esas oraciones. 2 Que se ore por los reyes y todas las autoridades para que tengamos un ambiente de paz y tranquilidad, donde sea posible adorar y respetar a Dios. 3 Eso es bueno y agrada a Dios nuestro Salvador, 4 ya que él quiere que todos sean salvos y lleguen a conocer la verdad. 5 Existe un solo Dios. Y existe uno solo que logró la paz entre Dios y los seres humanos: el hombre Jesucristo, 6 quien dio su propia vida para pagar por la libertad de todos. Jesús llegó en el momento oportuno y dio testimonio del deseo de Dios de salvar a todos. 7 Por eso fui nombrado apóstol para anunciar este mensaje, o sea fui nombrado maestro para promover la verdad y la fe a los que no son judíos. No les miento, lo que les digo es cierto.
8 Quiero que los hombres oren en todas partes. Los que levanten las manos a Dios para orar deben vivir para agradar a Dios y consagrarse a él, sin dejarse enojar ni meterse en discusiones.
9 A su vez, quiero que las mujeres se vistan con modestia, con respeto hacia los demás y con decencia. No se adornen con peinados exagerados, ni oro, ni perlas, ni ropa costosa, 10 sino adórnense con buenas acciones. Es lo apropiado para las mujeres que dicen honrar a Dios.
11 La mujer debe aprender escuchando con calma[a] y completamente dispuesta a obedecer. 12 No permito que la mujer le dé lecciones al hombre[b] ni que lo trate de dominar, sino que se mantenga tranquila.[c] 13 Pues Adán fue creado primero, y luego Eva. 14 Él no fue engañado,[d] sino que la mujer al ser completamente engañada, cayó en pecado. 15 Pero las mujeres se salvarán siendo madres, si tienen buen juicio y se mantienen en la fe, el amor y la dedicación a Dios.
1 Timothy 2
New International Version
Instructions on Worship
2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,(A) intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority,(B) that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness(C) and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases(D) God our Savior,(E) 4 who wants(F) all people(G) to be saved(H) and to come to a knowledge of the truth.(I) 5 For there is one God(J) and one mediator(K) between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,(L) 6 who gave himself as a ransom(M) for all people. This has now been witnessed to(N) at the proper time.(O) 7 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)
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands(S) without anger or disputing. 9 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.

Some Rules for Men and Women
2 First, I tell you to pray for all people. Ask God for the things people need, and be thankful to him. 2 You should pray for kings and for all who have authority. Pray for the leaders so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives—lives full of worship and respect for God. 3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior. 4 God wants all people to be saved. And he wants everyone to know the truth. 5 There is only one God. And there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Jesus Christ, who is also a man. 6 Jesus gave himself to pay for the sins of all people. Jesus is proof that God wants all people to be saved. And that proof came at the right time. 7 That is why I was chosen to tell the Good News and was chosen to be an apostle. (I am telling the truth. I am not lying.) I was chosen to teach the non-Jewish people to believe and to know the truth.
8 I want men everywhere to pray. These men who lift up their hands in prayer must be holy. They must not be men who become angry and have arguments.
9 I also want women to wear clothes that are right for them. They should dress with respect and right thinking. They should not use fancy braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes to make themselves beautiful. 10 But they should make themselves beautiful by doing good deeds. Women who say they worship God should make themselves beautiful in that way.
11 A woman should learn by listening quietly and being fully ready to obey. 12 I do not allow a woman to teach a man or to have authority over a man. She must remain silent. 13 For Adam was made first; Eve was made later. 14 Also, Adam was not the one who was tricked by the devil. It was the woman who was tricked and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through having children. They will be saved if they continue in faith, love, holiness, and self-control.
1 Timothy 2
Easy-to-Read Version
God Wants Us to Pray for Everyone
2 First of all, I ask that you pray for all people. Ask God to bless them and give them what they need. And give thanks. 2 You should pray for rulers and for all who have authority. Pray for these leaders so that we can live quiet and peaceful lives—lives full of devotion to God and respect for him. 3 This is good and pleases God our Savior.
4 God wants everyone to be saved and to fully understand the truth. 5 There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who as a man 6 gave himself to pay for everyone to be free. This is the message that was given to us at just the right time. 7 And I was chosen as an apostle to tell people that message. (I am telling the truth. I am not lying.) I was chosen to teach those who are not Jews to believe and understand the truth.
Special Instructions for Men and Women
8 I want the men everywhere to pray. Men who lift their hands in prayer must be devoted to God and pleasing to him. They must be men who keep themselves from getting angry and having arguments.
9 And I want the women to make themselves attractive in the right way. Their clothes should be sensible and appropriate. They should not draw attention to themselves with fancy hairstyles or gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothes. 10 But they should make themselves attractive by the good things they do. That is more appropriate for women who say they are devoted to God.
11 A woman should learn while listening quietly and being completely willing to obey. 12 I don’t allow a woman to teach a man or tell him what to do. She must listen quietly, 13 because Adam was made first. Eve was made later. 14 Also, Adam was not the one who was tricked.[a] It was the woman who was tricked and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved in their work of having children. They will be saved if they continue to live in faith, love, and holiness with sensible behavior.
