[1] But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

[2] That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

[3] The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:

[4] That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children.

[5] To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed.

[6] Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.

[7] In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,

[8] The sound word that can not be blamed: that he who is on the contrary part may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.

[9] Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters: in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:

[10] Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

[11] For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men:

[12] Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world,

[13] Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

[14] Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.

[15] These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
