¹ But you must say the things that are consistent with sound teaching. ⓐ

² Older men ⓑ are to be level headed, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love, ⓒ and endurance.

³ In the same way, older women ⓓ are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine. They are to teach what is good,

⁴ so they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children,

⁵ to be self-controlled, pure, homemakers, kind, and submissive ⓔ to their husbands, so that God’s message ⓕ will not be slandered.

⁶ In the same way, encourage the young men ⓖ to be self-controlled

⁷ in everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignity [1] in your teaching.

⁸ Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, ⓗ so that the opponent will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

⁹ Slaves are to be submissive to their masters ⓘ in everything, and to be well-pleasing, ⓙ not talking back

¹⁰ or stealing, but demonstrating utter faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior ⓚ in everything.

¹¹ For the grace of God has appeared with salvation [2] for all people, ⓛ

¹² instructing us to deny godlessness ⓜ and worldly lusts ⓝ and to live in a sensible, righteous, ⓞ and godly ⓟ way in the present age,

¹³ while we wait for the blessed hope ⓠ and appearing of the glory ⓡ of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ He gave Himself for us ⓢ to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for Himself a people for His own possession, ⓣ eager to do good works.

¹⁵ Say these things, and encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard [3] you.
