Teachings About Worship
1First, I want you to pray for all people. Ask God to help and bless them. Give thanks for them. 2Pray for kings. Pray for everyone who is in authority. Pray that we can live peaceful and quiet lives. And pray that we will be godly and holy. 3This is good, and it pleases God our Savior. 4He wants all people to be saved. He wants them to come to know the truth. 5There is only one God. And there is only one go-between for God and human beings. He is the man Christ Jesus. 6He gave himself to pay for the sins of all people. We have been told this message at just the right time. 7I was appointed to be a messenger and an apostle to preach the good news. I am telling the truth. I’m not lying. God appointed me to be a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
8So I want the men in every place to pray. I want them to lift up holy hands. I don’t want them to be angry when they pray. I don’t want them to argue. 9In the same way, I want the women to be careful how they dress. They should wear clothes that are right and proper. They shouldn’t wear their hair in very fancy styles. They shouldn’t wear gold or pearls. They shouldn’t wear clothes that cost a lot of money. 10Instead, they should put on good works as if good works were their clothes. This is proper for women who claim to worship God.
11When a woman is learning, she should be quiet. She should follow her leaders in every way. 12I do not let women teach or take authority over a man. They must be quiet. 13That’s because Adam was made first. Then Eve was made. 14Adam was not the one who was tricked. The woman was tricked and became a sinner. 15Will women be saved by having children? Only if they keep on believing, loving, and leading a holy life in a proper way.
Mga Bilin Tungkol sa Panalangin
1Una sa lahat, ipinapakiusap kong ipanalangin nʼyo ang lahat ng tao. Ipaabot ninyo sa Dios ang kahilingan nʼyo para sa kanila nang may pasasalamat. 2Ipanalangin nʼyo ang mga hari at mga may kapangyarihan para makapamuhay tayo nang tahimik at mapayapa na may kabanalan at tamang pag-uugali. 3Mabuti ito at nakalulugod sa Dios na ating Tagapagligtas. 4Nais niyang maligtas ang lahat ng tao at malaman ang katotohanan. 5Sapagkat iisa lang ang Dios at iisa lang ang tagapamagitan sa Dios at sa mga tao. Itoʼy walang iba kundi ang taong si Cristo Jesus. 6Ibinigay niya ang buhay niya bilang pantubos sa lahat ng tao. Ito ang nagpapatunay na nais ng Dios na maligtas ang lahat ng tao, at inihayag niya ito sa takdang panahon. 7At ito ang dahilan ng pagkahirang ko bilang apostol at tagapangaral sa mga hindi Judio tungkol sa pananampalataya at katotohanan. Totoo ang sinasabi ko, at hindi ako nagsisinungaling.
8Gusto kong sa lahat ng pagtitipon-tipon2:8 lahat ng pagtitipon-tipon: o, lahat ng lugar. ay manalangin ang mga lalaki nang may malinis na kalooban, na sa pagtaas nila ng kamay sa pananalangin ay walang galit o pakikipagtalo. 9Gusto ko rin na maging maayos at marangal ang mga babae sa pananamit nila, at iwasan ang labis na pag-aayos ng buhok at pagsusuot ng mga alahas o mamahaling damit. 10Sa halip, magpakita sila ng mabubuting gawa na nararapat sa mga babaeng sumasampalataya sa Dios. 11At kung may nagtuturo, dapat tahimik na makinig ang mga babae at lubos na magpasakop. 12Hindi ko pinahihintulutan ang mga babae na magturo o mamuno sa mga lalaki. Kailangang tumahimik lang sila. 13Sapagkat unang nilalang si Adan bago si Eva, 14at hindi si Adan ang nadaya, kundi si Eva ang nadaya at lumabag sa utos ng Dios. 15Ganoon pa man, maliligtas ang mga babae sa pamamagitan ng panganganak nila, kung magpapatuloy sila sa pananampalataya, pag-ibig, kabanalan, at tamang pag-uugali.
