## Instructions for the Older and Younger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
so that they may instruct the young women in sensibility: to love their husbands, to love their children,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
_to be_ sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be slandered.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Likewise urge the younger men to be sensible;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
in all things show yourself to be a model of good works, _with_ purity in doctrine, dignified,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
sound _in_ word which is irreproachable, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
_Urge_ slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing, not contradicting,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
not pilfering, but demonstrating all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in everything.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
instructing us that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
