1 It is for you, then, to preach the behaviour which goes with healthy doctrine.1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
2 Older men should be reserved, dignified, moderate, sound in faith and love and perseverance.2 That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
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 behaviour3 The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
4 and show younger women how they should love their husbands and love their children,4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,
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.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.
6 Similarly, urge younger men to be moderate in everything that they do,6 Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
7 and you yourself set an example of good works, by sincerity and earnestness, when you are teaching,and by a message sound and irreproachable7 In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
8 so that any opponent will be at a loss, with no accusation to make against us.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.
9 Slaves must be obedient to their masters in everything, and do what is wanted without argument;9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
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.10 Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things:
11 You see, God's grace has been revealed to save the whole human race;11 For the grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all men;
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,12 Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world,
13 waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the appearing of the glory of our great God andSaviour Christ Jesus.13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ,
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.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.
15 This is what you must say, encouraging or arguing with ful authority; no one should despise you.15 These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
