2 that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

3 that aged women, in like manner, be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 that they may train the young women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

5 to be sober, pure, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

6 The younger men, in like manner, exhort to be sober-minded;

7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity,

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

9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting,

10 not keeping back anything , but showing forth all good faith; that they may adorn the teaching of our Savior God in all things.

11 For the salvation-imparting grace of God appeared to all men,

12 teaching us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and godly in the present age;
