But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.
Exhort aged men to be temperate, grave, sober-minded, robust in their faith, their love and their patience.

In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.
They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,
industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.
In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet,
7 ⲍ̅ ⲉⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ. ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲫⲑⲟⲛⲓ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ.
and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, but a serious tone,
and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us.
Exhort slaves to be always obedient to their owners, and to give them satisfaction in everything, not contradicting and not pilfering,

but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things.
For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,

training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time, (aiōn g165)
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
in expectation of the fulfilment of our blessed hope--the Appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲟⲩⲏⲧ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ·
who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.
Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. Let no one make light of your authority.
