| 2:1 |
But as for you, teach what befits sound doctrine.
|
| 2:2 |
Bid the older men be temperate, serious, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.
|
| 2:3 |
Bid the older women likewise to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or slaves to drink;they are to teach what is good,
|
| 2:4 |
and so train the young women to love their husbands and children,
|
| 2:5 |
to be sensible, chaste, domestic, kind, and submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be discredited.
|
| 2:6 |
Likewise urge the younger men to control themselves.
|
| 2:7 |
Show yourself in all respects a model of good deeds, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity,
|
| 2:8 |
and sound speech that cannot be censured, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us.
|
| 2:9 |
Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect;they are not to be refractory,
|
| 2:10 |
nor to pilfer, but to show entire and true fidelity, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
|
| 2:11 |
For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men,
|
| 2:12 |
training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world,
|
| 2:13 |
awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
|
| 2:14 |
who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.
|
| 2:15 |
Declare these things;exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
