1 But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:

But do thou speak the things which become sound doctrine:

2 that aged men be temperate, grave, soberminded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:

3 that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 [to be] soberminded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:

chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

6 the younger men likewise exhort to be soberminded:

7 in all things shewing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity,

in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;

8 sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.

that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you.

9 [Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;

Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things,

10 not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

not answering frowardly, not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

11 For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men;

12 instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (aiōn g165)

teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in this present world; (aiōn g165)

13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ:

14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

15 These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

These things speak, and exhort; and reprove offenders with all authority: that none may despise thee.
