1But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:1But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with sound teaching.
2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.2Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.
3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;3Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.
4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,4In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.5to be self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited.
6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.6Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,
7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,7showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.8and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss, because he has nothing evil to say about us.
9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;9Slaves are to be subject to their own masters in everything, to do what is wanted and not talk back,
10Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.10not pilfering, but showing all good faith, in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything.
11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.
12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;12It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;13as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.14He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.
15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.15So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuke that carries full authority. Don't let anyone look down on you.
