New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 But speak thou those things that beseem wholesome teaching; [Forsooth speak thou the things that become wholesome teaching;]
|
1 You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.
|
|
2 that old men be sober, chaste, prudent, whole in faith, in love, and patience;
|
2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
|
|
3 also old women in holy habit, not slanderers [not backbiters, or saying false blame on other men], not serving much to wine, well-teaching, that they teach prudence.
|
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
|
|
4 Admonish thou young women, that they love their husbands, that they love their children;
|
4 Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
|
|
5 and that they be prudent, chaste, sober, having care of the house, benign, subject to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
|
5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
|
|
6 Also admonish young men, that they be sober.
|
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
|
|
7 In all things give thyself ensample of good works, in teaching, in wholeness, in firmness. [+In all things give thyself example of good works, in teaching, in holiness of living, in firmness of virtues.]
|
7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness
|
|
8 An wholesome word [An whole word], and unreprovable; that he that is of the contrary side, be ashamed, having none evil thing to say of you.
|
8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
|
|
9 Admonish thou servants to be subject to their lords; in all things pleasing, not again-saying,
|
9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,
|
|
10 not defrauding, but in all things showing good faith, that they honour in all things the doctrine of God, our Saviour [that they adorn in all things the doctrine of God, our Saviour].
|
10 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 For the grace of God, our Saviour, hath appeared to all men,
|
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
|
|
12 and taught us, that we forsake wickedness and worldly desires, and live soberly, and justly, and piously in this world, [teaching us, that we, forsaking unpiety, and worldly desires, live soberly, and justly, and piously, in this world,]
|
12 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 abiding the blessed hope and the coming of the glory of the great God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
|
13 while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
|
|
14 that gave himself for us, to again-buy us from all wickedness [that he should again-buy us from all wickedness], and make clean to himself a people acceptable, and follower of good works.
|
14 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 Speak thou these things, and admonish thou, and reprove thou with all commandment; no man despise thee. [Speak thou these things, and admonish, and argue, or reprove, with all commandment; no man despise thee.]
|
15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
