1But speak you the things that become sound teaching:

2That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

3The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:

4That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

6Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.

7In all things show yourself an example of good works, in teaching, in integrity, in gravity,

8The sound word that can not be blamed: that he, who is on the contrary part, may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.

11For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men;

12Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world,

13Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ,

14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all sin, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.

3Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and you shall be fed with its riches.

4Delight in the Lord, and he will give you the requests of your heart.

7But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to food:

8And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird yourself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards you shall eat and drink?

9Does he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?

10I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
