Chapter 2
|
1
|
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: |
2
|
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound
in faith, in charity, in patience. |
3
|
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour
as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to
much wine, teachers of good things; |
4
|
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to
love their husbands, to love their children, |
5
|
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient
to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. |
6
|
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. |
7
|
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:
in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, |
8
|
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that
is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil
thing to say of you. |
9
|
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters,
and to please them well in all things; not answering
again; |
10
|
Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that
they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all
things. |
11
|
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared
to all men, |
12
|
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this
present world; |
13
|
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; |
14
|
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from
all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people,
zealous of good works. |
15
|
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all
authority. Let no man despise thee. |
