CLV(i)
2 The aged men are to be sober, grave, sane, sound in the faith, in love, in endurance;"
3 the aged women, similarly, in demeanor as becomes the sacred, not adversaries, nor enslaved by much wine, teachers of the ideal,
4 that they may bring the young wives to a sense of their duty to be fond of their husbands, fond of their children,
5 sane, chaste, domestic, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed."
6 The younger men, similarly, entreat to be sane as to all things,
7 tendering yourself a model of ideal acts, in teaching with uncorruptness, gravity,
8 with words sound, uncensurable, that the contrary one may be abashed, having nothing bad to say concerning us."
9 Slaves are to be subject to their own owners, to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting;"
10 not embezzling, but displaying all good faithfulness, that they may be adorning the teaching that is of God, our Saviour, in all things."
11 For the saving grace of God made its advent to all humanity,
12 training us that, disowning irreverence and worldly desires, we should be living sanely and justly and devoutly in the current eon,
13 anticipating that happy expectation, even the advent of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,
