1But as for you, speak the things which befit sound doctrine. 2Urge the older men to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in steadfastness. 3Urge the older women likewise, to be reverent in behaviour, not malicious gossips, not slaves to much wine, but teaching good things; 4That they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5To be sensible, chaste, workers at home, kind, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be maligned. 6Likewise, urge the young men to be self-controlled. 7In all things show yourself to be an example of good works, and in your teaching show purity, dignity, 8And sound speech, which cannot be condemned; so that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us. 9Urge servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not to talk back, 10Not to pilfer, but showing entire and true fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12Teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and live sensibly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13Looking for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; 14Who gave himself up for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works. 15Speak these things, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man disregard you.
