Teaching Sound Doctrine

1ButG1161 as for youG4771, speakG2980 the things thatG3739 are consistent withG4241 soundG5198 doctrineG1319.

2OlderG4246 men are to beG1510 temperateG3524, dignifiedG4586, self-controlledG4998, and soundG5198 in faithG4102, loveG26, andG3588 perseveranceG5281.

3OlderG4247 women, likewiseG5615, are to be reverentG2412 inG1722 their behaviorG2688, notG3361 slanderersG1228 or addictedG1402 to muchG4183 wineG3631, but teachers of goodG2567. 4In this wayG2443 they can trainG4994 theG3588 youngG3501 women toG1510 love their husbandsG5362 and childrenG5388, 5to be self-controlledG4998, pureG53, managers of their householdsG3626, kindG18, and submissiveG5293 toG3588 their ownG2398 husbandsG435, so thatG2443 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 will not be discreditedG3361G987.

6In the same wayG5615, urgeG3870 theG3588 youngerG3501 men to be self-controlledG4993.

7InG4012 everythingG3956, showG3930 yourselfG4572 to be an exampleG5179 by doing goodG2570 worksG2041. InG1722 your teachingG1319 show integrityG861, dignityG4587, 8and wholesomeG5199 speechG3056 that is above reproachG176, so thatG2443 anyoneG3588 whoG1537 opposesG1727 us will be ashamedG1788, havingG2192 nothingG3367 badG5337 to sayG3004 aboutG4012 usG1473.

9SlavesG1401 are to submitG5293 to their ownG2398 mastersG1203 inG1722 everythingG3956, to beG1510 well-pleasingG2101, notG3361 argumentativeG483, 10notG3361 stealingG3557 from them, butG235 showingG1731 allG3956 goodG18 faithG4102, so thatG2443 inG1722 every respectG3956 they will adornG2885 theG3588 teachingG1319 aboutG3588 GodG2316 ourG1473 SaviorG4990.

God’s Grace Brings Salvation

11ForG1063 theG3588 graceG5485 of GodG2316 has appearedG2014, bringing salvationG4992 to everyoneG3956G444. 12It instructsG3811 usG1473 toG2443 renounceG720 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 worldlyG2886 passionsG1939, and to liveG2198 sensibleG4996, uprightG1346, andG2532 godlyG2153 lives inG1722 theG3588 presentG3568 ageG165, 13as we awaitG4327 theG3588 blessedG3107 hopeG1680 andG2532 gloriousG1391 appearanceG2015 ofG3588 ourG1473 greatG3173 GodG2316 andG2532 SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 14HeG3739 gaveG1325 HimselfG1438 forG5228 usG1473 toG2443 redeemG3084 usG1473 fromG575 allG3956 lawlessnessG458 andG2532 to purifyG2511 for HimselfG1438 a peopleG2992 for His own possessionG4041, zealousG2207 for goodG2570 deedsG2041.

15SpeakG2980 these thingsG3778 as you encourageG3870 andG2532 rebukeG1651 withG3326 allG3956 authorityG2003. Let no oneG3367 despiseG4065 youG4771.
