3the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—3Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.

12teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
13looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,13while we wait for the blessed hope--the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
15Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.15These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
