1You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.1But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach 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;
4Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad 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.
9Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior 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 that offers salvation to all people.11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13while we wait for the blessed hope--the appearing of the glory 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;
14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is 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.
15These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
