2 Old men should be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3 Old women, similarly, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well,
4 so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, 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.
6 Exhort young men similarly, so that they may show self-restraint.
7 In all things, present yourself as an example of good works: in doctrine, with integrity, with seriousness,
8 with sound words, irreproachably, so that he who is an opponent may dread that he has nothing evil to say about us.
