Dual Panel1But <1161> as for you <4771>, communicate <2980> the behavior that <3739> goes <4241> with sound <5198> teaching <1319>.
2Older men <4246> are to be <1510> temperate <3524>, dignified <4586>, self-controlled <4998>, sound <5198> in faith <4102>, in love <26>, and in endurance <5281>.
3Older women <4247> likewise <5615> are to exhibit behavior <2688> fitting for those who are holy <2412>, not <3361> slandering <1228>, not <3366> slaves <1402> to excessive <4183> drinking <3631>, but teaching what is good <2567>.
4In this way <2443> they will train <4994> the younger women <3501> to love their husbands <5362>, to love their children <5388>,
5to be self-controlled <4998>, pure <53>, fulfilling <3626> their duties at home <3626>, kind <18>, being subject <5293> to their own <2398> husbands <435>, so that <2443> the message <3056> of God <2316> may not <3361> be discredited <987>.
6Encourage <3870> younger men <3501> likewise <5615> to be self-controlled <4993>,
7showing <3930> yourself <4572> to be an example <5179> of good <2570> works <2041> in <4012> every way <3956>. In <1722> your teaching <1319> show integrity <90>, dignity <4587>,
8and a sound <5199> message <3056> that cannot be criticized <176>, so that <2443> any opponent <1727> will be at a loss <1788>, because he has <2192> nothing <3367> evil <5337> to say <3004> about <4012> us <2257>.
9Slaves <1401> are to be subject <5293> to their own <2398> masters <1203> in <1722> everything <3956>, to do what is <1510> wanted <2101> and not <3361> talk back <483>,
10not <3361> pilfering <3557>, but <235> showing <1731> all <3956> good <18> faith <4102>, in order to <2443> bring credit <2885> to the teaching <1319> of God <2316> our <2257> Savior <4990> in <1722> everything <3956>.
11For <1063> the grace <5485> of God <2316> has appeared <2014>, bringing salvation <4992> to all <3956> people <444>.
12It trains <3811> us <2248> to <2443> reject <720> godless ways <763> and <2532> worldly <2886> desires <1939> and to live self-controlled <4996>, upright <1346>, and <2532> godly <2153> lives <2198> in <1722> the present <3568> age <165>,
13as <4327> we wait for <4327> the happy <3107> fulfillment <4327> of our hope <1680> in the glorious <1391> appearing <2015> of our <2257> great <3173> God <2316> and <2532> Savior <4990>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
14He gave <1325> himself <1438> for <5228> us <2257> to <2443> set <3084> us <2248> free <3084> from <575> every kind <3956> of lawlessness <458> and <2532> to purify <2511> for himself <1438> a people <2992> who are truly <4041> his, who are eager <2207> to do good <2570>.
15So communicate <2980> these things <5023> with the sort of exhortation <3870> or <2532> rebuke <1651> that carries <3326> full <3956> authority <2003>. Don’t <3367> let <4065> anyone <3367> look down <4065> on you <4675>.
