2.That the Elder men be sober, honest, discrete, sound in the faith, in love, and in patience:
3.The Elder women likewise, that they be in such behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, but teachers of honest things,
4.That they may instruct the young women to be sober minded, that they love their husbands, that they love their children,
6.Exhort young men likewise, that they be sober minded.
7.Above all things shewe thy self an ensample of good works with uncorrupt doctrine, with gravity, integrity,
8.And with the wholesome word, which can not be reproved, that he which withstandeth, may be ashamed, having nothing concerning you to speak evil of.
10.Neither pykers, but that they shewe all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
12.And teacheth us that we should deny ungodliness, and worldly lusts, and that we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in this present world,
13.Looking for the blessed hope, and appearing of the glory of the mighty God, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ,
