Que las mujeres se adornen en vestido bien arreglado, con modestia y buen juicio (1 Tim. 2:9).
Las mujeres que demuestran modestia y buen juicio en su manera de vestir y arreglarse, así como en otros campos de la vida, dan un excelente ejemplo (1 Tim. 3:11). Pero este principio es igualmente aplicable a los varones cristianos, pues Pablo exhortó a todo aquel que fuera superintendente a ser “moderado en los hábitos, de juicio sano, ordenado” (1 Tim. 3:2). Si manifestamos estas cualidades en nuestra vida cotidiana, todos podrán ver nuestro progreso. Ahora bien, cuando Pablo le dijo a Timoteo que fuera un ejemplo de castidad, aludía a un aspecto de la vida muy específico: el de la moralidad sexual. Timoteo tenía que comportarse de manera irreprochable, particularmente al relacionarse con el sexo opuesto. Debía tratar “a las mujeres de más edad como a madres, [y] a las de menos edad como a hermanas, con toda castidad” (1 Tim. 4:12; 5:2). Ningún acto inmoral puede esconderse de Jehová, y es seguro que, tarde o temprano, también otras personas llegarán a enterarse (1 Tim. 5:24).

Women [should] adorn themselves in well-arranged dress, with modesty and soundness of mind.—1 Tim. 2:9.
Women who are modest and sound in mind in their choice of dress and grooming, as well as in other areas of their personal life, set excellent examples. (1 Tim. 3:11) This principle applies to Christian men too. Paul admonished overseers to be “moderate in habits, sound in mind, orderly.” (1 Tim. 3:2) When we display these qualities in our daily activities, our advancement will be made manifest to all. When Paul told Timothy to be exemplary in chasteness, he was alluding to a very specific area of conduct, that of sexual morality. Especially in Timothy’s dealings with women was his conduct to be above reproach. He was to treat “older women as mothers, younger women as sisters with all chasteness.” (1 Tim. 4:12; 5:2) Even acts of immorality that might seem to be secret are known to God and are certain to become known to fellow humans eventually.—1 Tim. 5:24.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
