- But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.
- Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.
- Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,
- so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
- to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

- But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
- That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
- The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
- That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
- To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
