1Bvt speake thou the thinges which become wholesome doctrine,
2That the elder men be watchful, graue, teperate, sounde in the faith, in loue, and in patience:
3The elder women likewise, that they be in such behauiour as becommeth holinesse, not false accusers, not subiect to much wine, but teachers of honest things,
4That they may instruct the yong women to be sober minded, that they loue their husbands, that they loue their children,
5That they be temperate, chaste, keeping at home, good and subiect vnto their husbands, that the word of God be not euill spoken of.
6Exhort yong men likewise, that they bee sober minded.
7In all things shewe thy selfe an ensample of good woorkes with vncorrupt doctrine, with grauitie, integritie,
8And with the wholesome woorde, which can not be condemned, that hee which withstandeth, may be ashamed, hauing nothing concerning you to speake euill of.
9Let seruants be subiect to their masters, and please them in al things, not answering again,
10Neither pickers, but that they shew al good faithfulnesse, that they may adorne the doctrine of God our Sauiour in all things.
11For that grace of God, that bringeth saluation vnto all men, hath appeared,
12And teacheth vs that we should denie vngodlinesse and worldly lusts, and that we should liue soberly and righteously, and godly in this present world,
13Looking for that blessed hope, and appearing of that glorie of that mightie God, and of our Sauiour Iesus Christ,
14Who gaue him selfe for vs, that hee might redeeme vs from all iniquitie, and purge vs to bee a peculiar people vnto himselfe, zealous of good woorkes.
15These things speake, and exhort, and conuince with all authoritie. See that no man despise thee.
