New American Standard Bible 1995
Duties of the Older and Younger
1But as for you, speakG2980 the things whichG3739 are fittingG4241 for 1soundG5198 doctrineG1319. 22OlderG4246 menG4246 are to be 3temperateG3524, dignifiedG4586, sensibleG4998, 4soundG5198 5in faithG4102, in loveG26, in 6perseveranceG5281.
3OlderG4247 womenG4247 likewiseG5615 are to be reverentG2412 in their behaviorG2688, 7not maliciousG1228 gossipsG1228 norG3366 8enslavedG1402 to muchG4183 wineG3631, teachingG2567 whatG2567 is goodG2567, 4soG2443 that they may 9encourageG4994 the youngG3501 womenG3501 to loveG5362 their husbandsG5362, to loveG5388 their childrenG5388, 5to be sensibleG4998, pureG53, 10workersG3626 at homeG3626, kindG18, being 11subjectG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435, 12soG2443 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 will not be dishonoredG987.
6LikewiseG5615 urgeG3870 13the youngG3501 menG3501 to be 14sensibleG4993; 7in allG3956 thingsG3956 showG3930 yourselfG4572 to be 15an exampleG5179 of goodG2570 deedsG2041, with 16purityG862 in doctrineG1319, dignifiedG4587, 8soundG5199 in speechG3056 whichG176 is beyondG176 reproachG176, soG2443 17that the opponentG1727 will be putG1788 to shameG1788, havingG2192 nothingG3367 badG5337 to sayG3004 aboutG4012 us.
9Urge 18bondslavesG1401 to be subjectG5293 to their ownG2398 mastersG1203 in everythingG3956, to be well-pleasingG2101, not 19argumentativeG483, 10not pilferingG3557, but showingG1731 allG3956 goodG18 faithG4102 soG2443 that they will adornG2885 the doctrineG1319 of 20GodG2316 our SaviorG4990 in everyG3956 respectG3956.
11For the graceG5485 of GodG2316 has 21appearedG2014, 2223bringingG4992 salvationG4992 to allG3956 menG444, 1224instructingG3811 us to denyG720 ungodlinessG763 and 25worldlyG2886 desiresG1939 and 26to liveG2198 sensiblyG4996, righteouslyG1346 and godlyG2153 27in the presentG3568 ageG165, 13lookingG4327 for the blessedG3107 hopeG1680 and the 28appearingG2015 of the gloryG1391 of 2930our greatG3173 GodG2316 and SaviorG4990, ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 14whoG3739 31gaveG1325 HimselfG1438 for us 32to redeemG3084 us from everyG3956 lawlessG458 deedG458, and to 33purifyG2511 for HimselfG1438 a 34peopleG2992 for His ownG1438 possessionG4041, 35zealousG2207 for goodG2570 deedsG2041.
15TheseG3778 thingsG3778 speakG2980 and 36exhortG3870 and 37reproveG1651 with allG3956 38authorityG2003. 39Let noG3367 oneG3367 disregardG4065 you.
