Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
1 But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine.
1
But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.
2
That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,
3
The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children,
4
That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children.
5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
5
To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
6
Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity,
7
In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
8 and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.
8
The sound word that can not be blamed: that he who is on the contrary part may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.
9 Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
9
Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters: in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
10
Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,
11
For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men:
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
12
Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world,
13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
13
Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.
15 Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
15
These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
