## 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.
