International Standard VersionKing James Bible
1But as for you, teach what is consistent with healthy doctrine. 1But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2Older men are to be sober, serious, sensible, and sound in faith, love, and endurance. 2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3Likewise, older women are to show their reverence for God by their behavior. They are not to be gossips or addicted to alcohol, but to be examples of goodness. 3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4They should encourage the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children, 4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5to be sensible and pure, to manage their households, to be kind, and to submit themselves to their husbands. Otherwise, the word of God may be discredited. 5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6Likewise, encourage the younger men to be sensible. 6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7Always set an example for others by doing good actions. Teach with integrity and dignity. 7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8Use wholesome speech that cannot be condemned. Then any opponent will be ashamed because he cannot say anything bad about us.8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9Slaves are to submit to their masters in everything, aiming to please them and not argue with them 9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10or steal from them. Instead, they are to show complete and perfect loyalty, so that in every way they may make the teaching about God our Savior more attractive.10Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. 11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12It trains us to renounce ungodly living and worldly passions so that we might live sensible, honest, and godly lives in the present age 12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13as we wait for the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14He gave himself for us to set us free from every wrong and to cleanse us so that we could be his special people who are enthusiastic about doing good deeds.14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15These are the things you should teach. Encourage and refute with full authority. Do not let anyone look down on you.15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
