| 1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: | 1 Ti, naprotiv, govori što se priliči zdravu nauku: |
| 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. | 2 starci da budu trijezni, ozbiljni, razumni, zdrave vjere, ljubavi, postojanosti; |
| 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; | 3 starice isto tako – vladanja kakvo dolikuje svetima: ne klevetnice, ne ropkinje mnogog vina, nego učiteljice dobra |
| 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, | 4 da urazumljuju mlađe neka ljube svoje muževe, djecu, |
| 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. | 5 neka budu razumne, čiste, kućevne, dobre, podložne svojim muževima da se riječ Božja ne bi pogrđivala. |
| 6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. | 6 Mladiće isto tako potiči da budu razumni. |
| 7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, | 7 U svemu se pokaži uzorom dobrih djela: u poučavanju – nepokvarljivost, ozbiljnost, |
| 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 you. | 8 riječ zdrava, besprigovorna da se onaj nasuprot postidi nemajući o nama reći ništa zlo. |
| 9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; | 9 Robovi neka se svojim gospodarima u svemu podlažu, ugađaju im, ne proturječe, |
| 10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. | 10 ne pronevjeruju, nego neka im iskazuju svaku dobru vjernost da u svemu budu ures nauku Spasitelja našega, Boga. |
| 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, | 11 Pojavila se doista milost Božja, spasiteljica svih ljudi; |
| 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; | 12 odgojila nas da se odreknemo bezbožnosti i svjetovnih požuda te razumno, pravedno i pobožno živimo u sadašnjem svijetu, |
| 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; | 13 iščekujući blaženu nadu i pojavak slave velikoga Boga i Spasitelja našega Isusa Krista. |
| 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. | 14 On sebe dade za nas da nas otkupi od svakoga bezakonja i očisti sebi Narod izabrani koji revnuje oko dobrih djela. |
| 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. | 15 To govori, zapovijedaj, karaj sa svom vlašću. Nitko neka te ne prezire. |
