Qualities of a Sound Church
1 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine:
2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—
4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be discreet, chaste, ahomemakers, good, bobedient to their own husbands, cthat the word of God may not be blasphemed.
6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded,
7 in all things showing yourself to be aa pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, bincorruptibility,
8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of1 you.
9 Exhort abondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,
10 not1 pilfering, but showing all good2 fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
Trained by Saving Grace
11 For athe grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
13 alooking for the blessed bhope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 awho gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed band purify for Himself cHis own special people, zealous for good works.
15 Speak these things, aexhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
