| 2:1 You, however, speak the things that are consistent with sound and healthy teaching. 2 Older men are to be sober [not drunk], venerable, of sound mind, sound and healthy in faith, in love, and in perseverance. 3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or accusers, not being enslaved to too much wine, but teachers of what is good 4 so that they may teach the young women to love their husbands and to love their children. 5 These younger women should be self-controlled, pure, caring for their homes, kind, and in submission to their own husbands, so that the word of God should not be maligned. 6 Encourage the younger men, likewise, to be modest and temperate. 7 In all things, you yourself should present a pattern of good works, in teaching be a pattern of integrity and reverence. 8 Speak sound words beyond reproach, so that whoever is contrary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us. 9 Servants are to be submissive to their own masters, being well-pleasing in everything, not speaking against, 10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, so that they may set forth the teaching of God our Savior in all things. • 11 For the gift and grace of God has become visible, bringing salvation to all humans, 12 teaching us that, having refused irreverence and worldly desires, we should live moderately, justly, and devotedly inside the present age, • 13 welcoming in every present moment the blessed hope and visible display of the great God, that visible display being our Savior, Christ Jesus, • 14 the One who gave Himself for us, for our sakes, that He might redeem us out from all lawlessness and might purify to Himself a people, His own personal treasure, who are zealous of good works. 15 Speak these things and encourage and convince with all authority. Let no one despise you. |
