But speak thou the things which become the healthful teaching:
that elder men be sober, grave, discreet, healthful in their faith, in their love, in their patience;
that aged women likewise be in deportment reverent, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good;
that they may train the young women to be lovers of husbands, lovers of children,
discreet, chaste, workers at home, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God be not ill-spoken of.
The younger men likewise exhort to be right-minded,
in all things showing thyself a pattern of good works, in the teaching uncorruptness, gravity,
healthy speech that cannot be condemned, that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil to say concerning us:
bond-servants to be in subjection to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not gainsaying,
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
For the grace of God appeared bringing salvation to all men,
instructing us that, having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godlily in this present age,
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
These things speak, and exhort, and reprove, with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
