1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine, 2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance, 3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good, 4 that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their 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.

6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded. 7 In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility, 8 and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting, 10 not stealing, but showing all 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 to all men, 12 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; 13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

1 But speak thou that which becometh sound doctrine,2 and teach, That the elders be watchful in their minds, and be chaste and pure, and sound in the faith, and in charity, and in patience.3 And so also the aged women, that they be in behaviour what becometh the fear of Aloha, and not slanderers, nor enslaved to much wine, and that they teach good things;4 making those who are young modest, to love their husbands and their children,5 and to be chaste and holy, well mindful of their houses, and submissive to their husbands, that no man blaspheme the word of Aloha.6 And of those who are young men, likewise, require that they be chaste.7 But in every thing show thyself the example in all good works, and in doctrine let there be with thee sound speech which is sincere and incorrupt,8 and which no man will despise, that he who riseth against us may be ashamed when he cannot say any thing hateful against us.9 Let servants to their masters be submissive in every thing, and please them, not contradicting,10 nor pilfering; but let them show their good-trustiness in every thing, that they may adorn in every thing the doctrine of Aloha our Saviour.11 FOR the all-saving grace of Aloha hath appeared to all men,12 and teacheth us to deny wickedness and the lusts of the world, and to live in this world in purity, and in rectitude, and in the fear of Aloha,13 while expecting the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha;14 who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to cleanse unto himself a new people, who are zealous of good works.15 These speak, and require, and maintain with all authority, and no man shall despise thee.
