But as for you, teach what befits sound doctrine. | The Teaching of Sound Doctrine Tt.2.1-15 |
| 2 |
Bid the older men be temperate, serious, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. | |
| 3 |
Bid the older women likewise to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or slaves to drink; they are to teach what is good, | |
| 4 |
and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, | |
| 5 |
to be sensible, chaste, domestic, kind, and submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be discredited. | |
| 6 |
Likewise urge the younger men to control themselves. | |
| 7 |
Show yourself in all respects a model of good deeds, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity, | |
| 8 |
and sound speech that cannot be censured, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us. | |
| 9 |
Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to be refractory, | |
| 10 |
nor to pilfer, but to show entire and true fidelity, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour. | |
| 11 |
For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men, | |
| 12 |
training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world, | |
| 13 |
awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, | |
| 14 |
who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds. | |
| 15 |
Declare these things; exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you. | |
