9 Tell slaves who are believers to place themselves under their masters' authority in everything they do.

10 or steal from them. Instead, tell slaves to show their masters how good and completely loyal they can be. Then they will show the beauty of the teachings about God our Savior in everything they do. not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior. and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
11 After all, God's saving kindness has appeared for the benefit of all people. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
12 It trains us to avoid ungodly lives filled with worldly desires so that we can live self-controlled, moral, and godly lives in this present world. training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
13 At the same time we can expect what we hope for-the appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14 He gave himself for us to set us free from every sin and to cleanse us so that we can be his special people who are enthusiastic about doing good things. who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
15 Tell these things to the believers. Encourage and correct them, using your full authority. Don't let anyone ignore you. Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you. These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
