1But do you inculcate the things which become wholesome doctrine: 2that aged men be vigilant, grave, prudent, healthy by faith, love, patience. 3That aged women, in like manner, be in deportment as becomes sacred persons-not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, good teachers; 4that they may persuade the young women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children- 5to be calm, chaste, careful of their families, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be defamed. 6The young men, in like manner, exhort to govern their passions. 7In all things make yourself a pattern of good works: in teaching, show incorruptness, gravity, 8wholesome speech which can not be condemned; that he who is on the opposite side may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say concerning you. 9Exhort servants to be subject to their own masters, and in all things be careful to please, not answering again, 10not secretly stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 11For the favor of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men; 12teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world- 13expecting the blessed hope; namely, the appearing of the glory of the great God, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15These things inculcate, and exhort, and reprove with all authority; let no one despise you.
