Mace New Testament Par ▾ 

Teaching Sound Doctrine

1As for you, teach nothing 2but what is agreeable to sound doctrine: advise the aged to be prudent, grave, temperate, sound in faith,

3in charity, in patience: the aged women likewise, to behave with sanctity of manners, not false accusers, not given to tipling, 4but to lectures on virtue, that they may teach the young women prudence, to love their husbands, 5to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, good oeconimists, beneficent, submissive to their husbands,

6that the word of God may not be blasphemed, the young men likewise exhort to be modest. 7In all things show yourself a pattern of virtue: in teaching shewing uncorruptness, 8gravity; let your doctrine be sound and inoffensive, that your opponents may be ashamed, and have nothing that is ill to say of us.

9Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, to be 10entirely obsequious without grumbling, not to pilfer, but to show the strictest fidelity; that they may do honour to the doctrine of God our saviour in all things.

God’s Grace Brings Salvation

11For the divine savour has display'd its salutary effects to all mankind: 12teaching us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and to practise temperance, justice and piety in this present world; 13in expectation of that desirable happiness, the glorious appearance of the supreme God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ, 14who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and qualify us to be his peculiar people, passionately affected to virtue.

15these things remonstrate: recommend and enforce with all your authority: guard yourself against all contempt.
