2:1 But you be speaking the things which are fitting for healthy teaching—
2:2 that old-men be sober, honorable, sound-minded, being healthy in faith, in love, in endurance;
2:3 that old-women similarly be reverent in behavior, not slanderous, not having been enslaved to much wine, teachers-of-good,
2:4 in order that they may train the young women to be husband-lovers, children-lovers,
2:5 sound-minded, pure, working-at-home, good, while being subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
2:6 Be exhorting the younger men similarly to be sound-minded
2:7 with-respect-to all things, while showing yourself as a pattern of good works— in your teaching showing uncorruptness, dignity,
2:8 healthy uncondemnable speech— in order that the one from the contrary side may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
2:9 Be exhorting slaves to be subject to their own masters in all things, to be pleasing, not contradicting,
2:10 not pilfering, but demonstrating all good faith, in order that they may adorn the teaching of our Savior God in all things.
2:11 For the grace of God appeared bringing-salvation for all people,
2:12 training us that having denied ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live sound-mindedly and righteously and godly in the present age,
2:13 while waiting-for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
2:14 Who gave Himself for us in order that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and cleanse for Himself a special people— zealots for good works.
2:15 Be speaking these things, and be exhorting, and be rebuking with all authority. Let no one be disregarding you.
