Chapter 2

  But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:  

-

  That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.  

-

  The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:  

-

  That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,  

-

  To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.  

-

  Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.  

-

  In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,  

-

  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.  

-

  Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:  

-

  Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things:  

-

  For the grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all men;  

-

  Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world,  

-

  Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ,  

-

  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.  

-

  These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
