✧But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: ✧2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. ✧3The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; ✧4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, ✧5[To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. ✧6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. ✧7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, ✧8Sound 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 obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again; ✧10Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. ✧11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, ✧12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; ✧13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; ✧14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ✧15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
