1But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with sound teaching.1But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4In this way they will train 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 self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited.5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss, because he has nothing evil to say 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 be subject to their own masters in everything, to do what is wanted and not talk back,9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10not pilfering, but showing all good faith, in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything. 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 reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, 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 happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.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 kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuke that carries full authority. Don't let anyone look down on you. 15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
