| 2:1 |
But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.
|
| 2:2 |
Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.
|
| 2:3 |
Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,
|
| 2:4 |
so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
|
| 2:5 |
to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.
|
| 2:6 |
Likewise urge the young men to be sensible;
|
| 2:7 |
in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified,
|
| 2:8 |
sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
|
| 2:9 |
Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
|
| 2:10 |
not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect.
|
| 2:11 |
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
|
| 2:12 |
instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
|
| 2:13 |
looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,
|
| 2:14 |
who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
|
| 2:15 |
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
