[To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed (2:5) Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded (2:6) In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, (2:7) 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 (2:8) [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again; (2:9) Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things (2:10) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, (2:11) Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (2:12) Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (2:13) Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works (2:14) These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee
(2:15)
