CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINKING JAMES BIBLE
1 But you are to speak the things that befit sound doctrine.1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 Old men should be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 Old women, similarly, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well,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;
4 so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, love their children,4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 be sensible, chaste, restrained, have concern for the household, be kind, be subordinate to their husbands: so that the Word of God may be not blasphemed.5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Exhort young men similarly, so that they may show self-restraint.6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things, present yourself as an example of good works: in doctrine, with integrity, with seriousness,7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 with sound words, irreproachably, so that he who is an opponent may dread that he has nothing evil to say about us.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.
9 Exhort servants to be submissive to their masters, in all things pleasing, not contradicting,9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 not cheating, but in all things showing good fidelity, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men,11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 instructing us to reject impiety and worldly desires, so that we may live soberly and justly and piously in this age,12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 looking forward to the blessed hope and the advent of the glory of the great God and of our Savior Jesus Christ.13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 He gave himself for our sake, so that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse for himself an acceptable people, pursuers of good works.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.
15 Speak and exhort and argue these things with all authority. Let no one despise you.15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
