1 - And thou--be speaking what doth become the sound teaching;

2 - aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;

3 - aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved, of good things teachers,

4 - that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of <FI>their<Fi> husbands, lovers of <FI>their<Fi> children,

5 - sober, pure, keepers of <FI>their own<Fi> houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

6 - The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be sober-minded;

7 - concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility,

8 - discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.

9 - Servants--to their own masters <FI>are<Fi> to be subject, in all things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

10 - not purloining, but showing all good stedfastness, that the teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things.

11 - For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men,

12 - teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

13 - waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,

14 - who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

15 - these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!
