Chapter 2

1


 

   But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.  

 

 

-

2


 

   Exhort aged men to be temperate, grave, sober-minded, robust in their faith, their love and their patience.  

 

 

-

3


 

   In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.  

 

 

-

4


 

   They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,  

 

 

-

5


 

   industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.  

 

 

-

6


 

   In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet,  

 

 

-

7


 

   and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, but a serious tone,  

 

 

-

8


 

   and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us.  

 

 

-

9


 

   Exhort slaves to be always obedient to their owners, and to give them satisfaction in everything, not contradicting and not pilfering,  

 

 

-

10


 

   but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things.  

 

 

-

11


 

   For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,  

 

 

-

12


 

   training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time,  

 

 

-

13


 

   in expectation of the fulfilment of our blessed hope--the Appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;  

 

 

-

14


 

   who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.  

 

 

-

15


 

   Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. Let no one make light of your authority.
