21But say the things which fit sound doctrine,+2that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,+3and that older women likewise be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,+4that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,+5to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.+6Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.+7In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,+8and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.+9Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,+10not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Saviour, in all things.+
God’s Grace Brings Salvation
11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,+12instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;+13looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ,+14who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.+15Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.+
