| 2:1 |
But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
|
| 2:2 |
that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
|
| 2:3 |
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, 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 the word of God be not blasphemed:
|
| 2:6 |
the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
|
| 2:7 |
in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity,
|
| 2:8 |
sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.
|
| 2:9 |
[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;
|
| 2:10 |
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
|
| 2:11 |
For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
|
| 2:12 |
instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;
|
| 2:13 |
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
|
| 2:14 |
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
|
| 2:15 |
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
