Teaching Sound Doctrine

1 But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.4 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,5 to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,8 and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed that he has nothing bad to say about us.9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,10 not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.

God’s Grace Brings Salvation

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men.12 It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,13 as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.14 He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

15 Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
