1But as for you, teach what is consistent with sound instruction.
2Tell the older men to be temperate, serious, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.
3Likewise, tell the older women to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or enslaved to much wine; they are to teach what is good,[#1 Tim 3.8]
4so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5to be self-controlled, chaste, good managers of the household, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.[#1 Cor 14.34; Eph 5.22; 1 Tim 6.1]
6Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled
7in all things, offering yourself as a model of good works and in your teaching offering integrity, gravity,
8and sound speech that cannot be censured; then any opponent will be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us.[#1 Tim 6.3]
9Urge slaves to be submissive to their masters in everything, to be pleasing, not talking back,[#Eph 6.5]
10not stealing, but showing complete and perfect fidelity, so that in everything they may be an ornament to the teaching of God our Savior.
11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all,[#Rom 5.15; 1 Tim 2.4; #2.11 Or has appeared to all, bringing salvation]
12training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly,[#2 Tim 3.12; Titus 3.3]
13while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.[#2 Thess 2.8; 2 Pet 1.1; #2.13 Or of the great God and our Savior]
14He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.[#Ex 19.5; Eph 2.10; 1 Tim 2.6; Heb 9.14]
15Declare these things; exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one look down on you.[#2.15 Gk commandment]
