|
1 But say the things which fit the sound doctrine,
|
1 You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.
|
|
2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
|
2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
|
|
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
|
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 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
|
4 Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
|
|
5 to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be 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 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober-minded;
|
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
