¹ But do, thou, speak the things which become the healthful instruction: - ² That, aged men, be, sober, grave, sober-minded, healthy in their faith, love, endurance;³ Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, - ⁴ That they may constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,⁵ soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, - that, the word of God, be not defamed;⁶ The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:⁷ In all things, shewing, thyself, an ensample of noble works, - in thine instruction, uncorruptness, gravity,⁸ healthful discourse that cannot be condemned, in order that, he that is of the contrary part, may relent, having nothing to say concerning us that is disparaging:⁹ Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well-pleasing, not gainsaying,¹⁰ not taking anything away, shewing, all good faith, - that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.

¹¹ For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,¹² Putting us under discipline - in order that, - denying ourselves of ungodliness and worldly covetings, in a soberminded and righteous and godly manner, we should live, in the present age,¹³ Prepared to welcome the happy hope and forthshining of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus, - ¹⁴ Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure - zealous of noble works.

¹⁵ As to these things, be speaking and exhorting and reproving, with all manner of precept: let, no one, disregard thee!
