1But you, speak what is proper for sound teaching.2Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in the faith, in love, and in perseverance.3Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderous, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good.4So that they may train the younger women to be husband-loving, to love their children.5They are to be self-controlled, pure, home-working, good, subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed.6Likewise urge the younger men to be self-controlled.7In all things show yourself a model of good works, in the teaching showing integrity, dignity.8Sound word, beyond reproach, so that the one from the hostile side may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.9Slaves are to be subject to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative.10Not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things.11For the grace of God has appeared, saving for all people.12It trains us to renounce ungodliness and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.13While we wait for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.14Who gave himself for us, so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness and might cleanse for himself a people special, zealous for good works.15Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
