Chapter Text
2:1 Bvt speake thou the thinges which become wholesome doctrine,
2:2 That the elder men be watchful, graue, teperate, sounde in the faith, in loue, and in patience:
2:3 The elder women likewise, that they be in such behauiour as becommeth holinesse, not false accusers, not subiect to much wine, but teachers of honest things,
2:4 That they may instruct the yong women to be sober minded, that they loue their husbands, that they loue their children,
2:5 That they be temperate, chaste, keeping at home, good and subiect vnto their husbands, that the word of God be not euill spoken of.
2:6 Exhort yong men likewise, that they bee sober minded.
2:7 In all things shewe thy selfe an ensample of good woorkes with vncorrupt doctrine, with grauitie, integritie,
2:8 And with the wholesome woorde, which can not be condemned, that hee which withstandeth, may be ashamed, hauing nothing concerning you to speake euill of.
2:9 Let seruants be subiect to their masters, and please them in al things, not answering again,
2:10 Neither pickers, but that they shew al good faithfulnesse, that they may adorne the doctrine of God our Sauiour in all things.
2:11 For that grace of God, that bringeth saluation vnto all men, hath appeared,
2:12 And teacheth vs that we should denie vngodlinesse and worldly lusts, and that we should liue soberly and righteously, and godly in this present world,
2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and appearing of that glorie of that mightie God, and of our Sauiour Iesus Christ,
2:14 Who gaue him selfe for vs, that hee might redeeme vs from all iniquitie, and purge vs to bee a peculiar people vnto himselfe, zealous of good woorkes.
2:15 These things speake, and exhort, and conuince with all authoritie. See that no man despise thee.
