1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
1
But as for you, teach what is consistent with sound doctrine.
2 That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
2
Tell the older men to be temperate, serious, prudent, and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.
3 The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
3
Likewise, tell the older women to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or slaves to drink; they are to teach what is good,
4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children.
4
so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
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.
5
to be self-controlled, chaste, good managers of the household, kind, being submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.
6 Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
6
Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
7 In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
7
Show yourself in all respects a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity,
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.
8
and sound speech that cannot be censured; then any opponent will be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters: in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
9
Tell slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to talk back,
10 Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
10
not to pilfer, but to show complete and perfect fidelity, so that in everything they may be an ornament to the doctrine of God our Savior.
11 For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men:
11
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all,
12 Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world,
12
training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly,
13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
13
while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
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.
14
He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.
15 These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
15
Declare these things; exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one look down on you.
