¹But speak youi the things which become sound doctrine:

²That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

³The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

⁴That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁵[To be] discreet, pure (clean; not corrupt) , keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God-The Father be not blasphemed.

⁶Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

⁷In all things showing yourself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity, with incorruption,

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.

⁹[Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things] ; not answering again;

¹⁰Not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God-The Father our Saviour in all things.

¹¹For the grace of God-The Father that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

¹²Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

¹³Looking for that Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God-The Father and our Saviour Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] ;

¹⁴Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar (particular; special; one’s own) people, zealous of good works.

¹⁵These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) with all authority. Let no man despise youi .
