For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.

instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,

so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified,

to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

Likewise urge the young men to be sensible;

sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect.
