1 Timoteo 2:10

10 sino de buenas obras, como conviene a mujeres que profesan piedad

1 Timoteo 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 2:10

But (which becometh women professing god likeness)
By which is meant not any particular grace, was it, the fear of God might be designed, and so the Syriac version renders it; nor the whole of internal religion only; nor the form of godliness, or the whole scheme of Gospel truth, which is according to godliness; nor only outward holiness of life and conversation; but the whole of all this, all religion, internal and external, the whole of godliness, both in a doctrinal and in a practical way. All this, these women the apostle gives directions unto, had made a profession of, and had been baptized upon it, and received members of churches; and as yet held their profession: and such persons, it best became them not so much to adorn themselves with any outward adornings, as

with good works;
such as are mentioned in ( 1 Thessalonians 5:10 ) ( 1 Peter 3:3-5 ) Good works are like good clothes, to which the apostle alludes; they do not make persons men and women, but they adorn them as such; so good works, they do not make men and women Christians, or believers, but they adorn them as such; they are ornaments to their persons, and to their profession, and to the Gospel they profess. See ( Titus 2:10 ) .

1 Timoteo 2:10 In-Context

8 Quiero, pues, que los varones oren en todo lugar, levantando manos limpias, sin ira ni contienda

9 Asimismo también las mujeres, ataviándose de manera honesta, con pudor y modestia; no con peinado ostentoso, u oro, o perlas, o vestidos costosos

10 sino de buenas obras, como conviene a mujeres que profesan piedad

11 La mujer aprenda, callando con toda sujeción

12 Porque no permito a una mujer enseñar, ni tomar autoridad sobre el varón, sino estar reposada
