2:2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

2:3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

2:4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

2:5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

2:6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

2:7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

2:8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

2:9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

2:10Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
