| 2:1: But say the things which fit sound doctrine, |
| 2:2: that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience: |
| 2:3: and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; |
| 2:4: that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, |
| 2:5: to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed. |
| 2:6: Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober-minded; |
| 2:7: in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility, |
| 2:8: and soundness of speech that can't be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us. |
| 2:9: Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting; |
| 2:10: not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things. |
| 2:11: For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, |
| 2:12: instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world; |
| 2:13: looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ; |
| 2:14: who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works. |
| 2:15: Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you. |
