1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine,
That the aged men be vigilant,
2 serious, prudent, sound in faith, love,
patience:
3 That the aged women in like manner, be in behaviour as
becometh holiness, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of
good things:
4 That they instruct the young women to be wise, to love
their husbands,
5 to love their chidren, Discreet, chaste, keepers at
home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God
be not blasphemed.
6 The young men likewise exhort to be discreet,
In all things shewing thyself a pattern note of good works,
7 in doctrine, uncorruptness,
seriousness, Sound speech note that cannot be reproved;
8 that
he who is on the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing
to say of us.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters,
to please them in all things, note
10 not answering again, Not stealing, but
shewing all good fidelity, that they may in all things adorn the gospel of
God our Saviour.
11 For the saving grace of God note hath appeared to all
men,
12 Teaching us, note that, having renounced ungodliness and all wordly
desires, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present
world,
13 Looking note for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of
the great God, even our Saviour Jesus Christ.
14 Who gave himself for
us, note that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a
peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak and exhort,
and rebuke with all authority: let no man despise thee. note
