| 1 | But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: | ||
| 2 | That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. | ||
| 3 | The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; | ||
| 4 | That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, | ||
| 5 | [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. | ||
| 6 | Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. | ||
| 7 | In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, | ||
| 8 | Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. | ||
| 9 | [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again; | ||
| 10 | Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. | ||
| 11 | For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, | ||
| 12 | Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; | ||
| 13 | Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; | ||
| 14 | Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. | ||
| 15 | These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. |

| 1 | Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, | ||
| 2 | To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. | ||
| 3 | For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another. | ||
| 4 | But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, | ||
| 5 | Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; | ||
| 6 | Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; | ||
| 7 | That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. | ||
| 8 | [This is] a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. | ||
| 9 | But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. | ||
| 10 | A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; | ||
| 11 | Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. | ||
| 12 | When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. | ||
| 13 | Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. | ||
| 14 | And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. | ||
| 15 | All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace [be] with you all. Amen. |
