The duties which become sound doctrine

But let your words be in agreement with true and right teaching: But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
That old men are to be simple in their tastes, serious, wise, true in faith, in love, and of a quiet mind. that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good, and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
Training the younger women to have love for their husbands and children, that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
To be wise in mind, clean in heart, kind; working in their houses, living under the authority of their husbands; so that no evil may be said of the word of God. to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.
To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded: Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;
In all things see that you are an example of good works; holy in your teaching, serious in behaviour, in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us. and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

Believing servants must be obedient

Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument; Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
Not taking what is not theirs, but giving clear signs of their good faith, in all things doing credit to the teaching of God our Saviour. not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

All is enforced from the holy design of the gospel, which concerns all believers

For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men, For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life; instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;
Looking for the glad hope, the revelation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;
Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works. who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour. Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.
