DOUAI-RHEIMSNEW JERUSALEM
1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:1 It is for you, then, to preach the behaviour which goes with healthy doctrine.
2 That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.2 Older men should be reserved, dignified, moderate, sound in faith and love and perseverance.
3 The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:3 Similarly, older women should behave as befits religious people, with no scandal-mongering and noaddiction to wine -- they must be the teachers of right behaviour
4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,4 and show younger women how they should love their husbands and 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.5 how they must be sensible and chaste, and how to work in their homes, and be gentle, and obey theirhusbands, so that the message of God is not disgraced.
6 Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.6 Similarly, urge younger men to be moderate in everything that they do,
7 In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,7 and you yourself set an example of good works, by sincerity and earnestness, when you are teaching,and by a message sound and irreproachable
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.8 so that any opponent will be at a loss, with no accusation to make against us.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:9 Slaves must be obedient to their masters in everything, and do what is wanted without argument;
10 Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things:10 and there must be no pilfering -- they must show complete honesty at al times, so that they are in everyway a credit to the teaching of God our Saviour.
11 For the grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all men;11 You see, God's grace has been revealed to save the whole human race;
12 Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world,12 it has taught us that we should give up everything contrary to true religion and all our worldly passions;we must be self-restrained and live upright and religious lives in this present world,
13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ,13 waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the appearing of the glory of our great God andSaviour Christ Jesus.
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.14 He offered himself for us in order to ransom us from al our faults and to purify a people to be his veryown and eager to do good.
15 These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.15 This is what you must say, encouraging or arguing with ful authority; no one should despise you.
