Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.
1
And thou -- be speaking what doth become the sound teaching;
2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
2
aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;
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.
3
aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved, of good things teachers,
4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,
4
that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,
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.
5
sober, pure, keepers of [their own] houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
6
The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be sober-minded;
7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness
7
concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility,
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.
8
discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.
9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,
9
Servants -- to their own masters [are] to be subject, in all things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying,
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.
10
not purloining, but showing all good stedfastness, that the teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things.
11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
11
For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men,
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,
12
teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,
13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
13
waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,
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.
14
who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;
15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
15
these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!
