1 - But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

2 - that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:

3 - and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 - that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 - to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.

6 - Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;

7 - in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

8 - and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

9 - Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;

10 - not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

11 - For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12 - instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

13 - looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;

14 - who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

15 - Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.
