1 But you, speak what is fitting for sound teaching:
2 the older men are to be sober, serious, sensible, sound in belief, in love, in endurance,
3 the older women likewise are to be set-apart in behaviour, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of what is good,
4 in order for them to train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be sensible, blameless, workers at home, good, subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of Elohim is not evil spoken of.
6 Likewise urge the young men to be sensible.
7 Show yourself to them an example of good works in all matters. In teaching show uncorruptness, seriousness,
8 soundness of speech beyond reproach, in order that the opponent is put to shame, having no evil word to say about you.
9 Servants should be subject to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in every way, not back-talking,
10 not stealing, but showing all good trustworthiness, so that they adorn the teaching of Elohim our Saviour in every way.
11 For the saving Gift of Elohim has appeared to all men,
12 instructing us to renounce wickedness and worldly lusts, and to live sensibly, righteously, and reverently in the present age,
13 looking for the blessed expectation and esteemed appearance of the great Elohim and our Saviour יהושע Messiah,
14 who gave Himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for Himself a people, His own possession, ardent for good works.
15 Speak these matters, urge, and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
