2 that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in love, (agape) in patience.
3 that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,

5 discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

6 The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:

7 in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,

9 bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

11 For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,

12 teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, (aiōn g165)

13 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.
