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, ú oro, ó perlas, ó vestidos costosos,

10 Sino de buenas obras, como conviene á mujeres que profesan piedad.
