1Bvt speake thou that which becommeth wholsome learnynge. 2That ye elder men be sober, honest, discrete, sounde in the faith, in loue, in pacience.

3And the elder wemen likewyse that they shewe them selues as it becommeth holynes, that they be no false accusers, not geuen to moch wyne, that they teach honest thinges, 4that they enfourme the yonge wemen to be sober mynded, to loue their hussbandes, to loue their childre, 5to be discrete, chaste, husswyfly, good, obedient vnto their awne hussbandes, that the worde of God be not euell spoken of.

6Exhorte the yonge men likewyse, that they be sober mynded. 7Aboue all thinge shewe thy selfe an ensample off good workes, with vncorrupte doctryne, with honestye, with the wholsome 8worde which can not be rebuked: that he which withstodeth maye be ashamed, hauynge nothinge in you that he maye disprayse.

9Exhorte the seruauntes, to be obedient vnto their masters, to please in all thinges, not answeringe agayne, 10nether to be pykers, but to shewe all good faithfulnes, that in all thinges they maye do worshippe vnto the doctryne off God oure Sauioure.
