The younger men, in like manner, exhort [them] to be sober-minded.
7
Concerning all things, present yourself [as] a pattern of good worksin the teaching [with] uncorruptedness, dignity,

9
Servants [are] to be subject to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
10
not stealing, but showing all good steadfastness, that the teaching of God our Savior they may adorn in all things.

God’s Grace Brings Salvation

11
For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,
12
teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, we may live soberly, and righteously, and piously in the present age,
13
waiting for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14
who gave Himself for us, that He might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to Himself a special people, zealous of good works.
15
Speak these things, and exhort and convict with all authority; let no one despise you!

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 behavior, 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 cant 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 Savior, in all things.
