1 Do you, however, speak of such subjects as
properly have a place in sound Christian teaching.
⪆⪆
2 Teach that the older men should be
temperate, serious, and discreet; strong in faith,
love, and endurance.
3 So, too, that the older women should
be reverent in their demeanour, and that they should avoid
scandal,
4 and beware of becoming slaves to drink; that they
should teach what is right, so as to train the younger women
to love their husbands and children,
5 and to be discreet, pure-minded,
domesticated, good women, ready to submit to their
husbands, in order that God's Message may not be maligned.
6 And so again with the younger men—impress upon them the
need of discretion.
7 Above all, set an example of doing good.
8 Show sincerity in your teaching, and a serious spirit; let the
instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that
the enemy may be ashamed when he fails to find anything bad
to say about us.
9 Urge slaves to be submissive to their owners
in all circumstances, and to try their best to please them.
10 Teach them not to contradict or to pilfer, but to show such
praiseworthy fidelity in everything, as to recommend the
teaching about God our Saviour by all that they do.
note
11 For the loving-kindness of God has been revealed,
bringing Salvation for all;
12 leading us to
renounce irreligious ways and worldly ambitions,
and to live discreet, upright, and religious lives here in this
present world,
13 while we are awaiting our Blessed Hope—the
Appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour, Christ
Jesus.
14 For he gave himself on our behalf, to deliver us from
-- --
all wickedness, and to purify for himself a People who should
be peculiarly his own and eager to do good.
note
15 Speak of all this, and encourage and rebuke
with all authority. Do not let any one despise
you. ⪆⪆
