| 2:1 |
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
|
| 2:2 |
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience;
|
| 2:3 |
The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
|
| 2:4 |
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
|
| 2:5 |
[To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
|
| 2:6 |
Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded.
|
| 2:7 |
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
|
| 2:8 |
Sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.
|
| 2:9 |
[Exhort] servants to be obedient to their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
|
| 2:10 |
Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
|
| 2:11 |
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
|
| 2:12 |
Teaching us, that denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, in this present world;
|
| 2:13 |
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Savior Jesus Christ;
|
| 2:14 |
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
|
| 2:15 |
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
