- You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.
- Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
- Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
- Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
- to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

- 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.
