2 But you, speak things befitting to sound doctrine -
2 so that the older men are sober, honorable, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, and in patience;
3 the elder women likewise - so that they are in such behavior as becomes holiness (not false accusers, not subject to much wine, teachers of virtue);
4 so that they may instruct the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, love their children,
5 to be temperate, chaste, homemakers, good, subject to their own husbands (so that the word of God is not blasphemed).
6 Exhort young men likewise, so that they are sober-minded.
7 In all things, show yourself to be an example of good works - with uncorrupted doctrine, gravity, integrity,
8 and sound speech that cannot be condemned - so that whoever opposes you may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
9 Let servants be subject to their masters, and please them in all things - not questioning
10 or pilfering, but showing all good faithfulness, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11 For the grace of God which brings salvation to all mankind has appeared,
12 and teaches us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts; and that we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world,
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the mighty God, and of our Savior, Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave Himself for us so that He might redeem us from all iniquity and cleanse us to be a peculiar people for Himself, zealous for good works.
15 Speak these things. And encourage and convict with all authority. See that no one despises you.
