1 Timothy 2
New Testament for Everyone
The first rule: prayer for the world
2 So, then, this is my very first command: God’s people should make petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings on behalf of all people— 2 on behalf of kings, and all who hold high office, so that we may lead a tranquil and peaceful life, in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good; it is acceptable with God our savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to know the truth. 5 For, you see,
There is one God,
and also one mediator between God and humans,
Messiah Jesus, himself a human being.
6 He gave himself as a ransom for all,
and this was testified when the time was right.
7 This is why I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I’m speaking the truth, I’m not lying!), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Women must be allowed to be learners
8 So this is what I want: the men should pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, with no anger or disputing. 9 In the same way the women, too, should clothe themselves decently, being modest and sensible about it. They should not go in for elaborate hairstyles, or gold, or pearls, or expensive clothes. 10 Instead, as is appropriate for women who profess to be godly, they should adorn themselves with good works. 11 They must study undisturbed, in full submission to God. 12 I’m not saying that women should teach men, or try to dictate to them; rather, that they should be left undisturbed. 13 Adam was created first, you see, and then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, and fell into trespass. 15 She will, however, be kept safe through the process of childbirth, if she continues in faith, love and holiness with prudence.
1 Timoteo 2
Reina-Valera Antigua
2 AMONESTO pues, ante todas cosas, que se hagan rogativas, oraciones, peticiones, hacimientos de gracias, por todos los hombres;
2 Por los reyes y por todos los que están en eminencia, para que vivamos quieta y reposadamente en toda piedad y honestidad.
3 Porque esto es bueno y agradable delante de Dios nuestro Salvador;
4 El cual quiere que todos los hombres sean salvos, y que vengan al conocimiento de la verdad.
5 Porque hay un Dios, asimismo un mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Jesucristo hombre;
6 El cual se dió á sí mismo en precio del rescate por todos, para testimonio en sus tiempos:
7 De lo que yo soy puesto por predicador y apóstol, (digo verdad en Cristo, no miento) doctor de los Gentiles en fidelidad y verdad.
8 Quiero, pues, que los hombres oren en todo lugar, levantando manos limpias, sin ira ni contienda.
9 Asimismo también las mujeres, ataviándose en hábito honesto, con vergüenza y modestia; no con cabellos encrespados, u oro, ó perlas, ó vestidos costosos.
10 Sino de buenas obras, como conviene á mujeres que profesan piedad.
11 La mujer aprenda en silencio, con toda sujeción.
12 Porque no permito á la mujer enseñar, ni tomar autoridad sobre el hombre, sino estar en silencio.
13 Porque Adam fué formado el primero, después Eva;
14 Y Adam no fué engañado, sino la mujer, siendo seducida, vino á ser envuelta en transgresión:
15 Empero se salvará engendrando hijos, si permaneciere en la fe y caridad y santidad, con modestia.
