Advice for Behavior in Community
1But as for you, speak things that are fitting for sound instruction.
2Older men are to be clear-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3Likewise, older women are to be sanctified in demeanor—not backbiting or enslaved to much wine. Let them be teachers of what is good,
4so that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5to be self-controlled, pure, managing their household, kind, submitted to their own husbands, so that God’s word may not be dishonored.
6Likewise urge the younger men to be self-controlled,
7in all things showing yourself to be an example of good deeds—integrity in instruction, dignity,
8sound speech beyond criticism—so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
9Urge slaves to submit themselves to their own masters in all things, well-pleasing and not back-talking,
10not stealing but showing all good faithfulness, so that they may do credit to the teaching about God our Savior in everything.
11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12training us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live in a manner that is self-controlled and righteous and godly in the present age.
13We wait for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior, Messiah Yeshua.
14He gave Himself for us so that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and so that He might purify for Himself a chosen people, zealous for good deeds.
15So communicate these things, and encourage and correct with complete authority. Let no one look down on you.

Sound Teaching and Christian Living
1But you must say the things that are consistent with sound teaching. # Ti 1:9 2Older men # 1Tm 5:1 are to be level headed, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love, # 1Co 13:1; 1Jn 4:16 and endurance. 3In the same way, older women # 1Tm 5:2 are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4so they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children, 5to be self-controlled, pure, homemakers, kind, and submissive # Lk 10:17; Eph 5:22 to their husbands, so that God’s message # Lk 8:21; 2Tm 2:15; Heb 4:12 will not be slandered.
6In the same way, encourage the young men # 1Tm 5:1; 1Pt 5:5; 1Jn 2:13-14 to be self-controlled 7in everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignity # Other mss add incorruptibility in your teaching. 8Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, # 1Tm 2:2 so that the opponent will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
9Slaves are to be submissive to their masters # Eph 6:5-9; Col 3:22; 1Tm 6:1; 1Pt 2:18; Jd 4 in everything, and to be well-pleasing, # Heb 13:21 not talking back 10or stealing, but demonstrating utter faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior # 1Tm 1:1; 2:3; Ti 1:3; 3:4; Jd 25 in everything.
11For the grace of God has appeared with salvation # Or appeared, bringing salvation ; or appeared with saving power for all people, # Ac 1:8; Rm 10:14; 2Co 5:18-21; 1Tm 2:4; 4:10; 2Pt 3:9 12instructing us to deny godlessness # Jd 18 and worldly lusts # 2Tm 4:10; 2Pt 1:4; 2:10 and to live in a sensible, righteous, # Lk 23:41; 1Co 15:34; 1Th 2:10; 1Pt 2:24 and godly # 2Tm 3:12 way in the present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope # Ac 23:6; 1Th 1:3 and appearing of the glory # Lk 9:32; Jn 17:1,24; 2Co 3:18; 2Pt 3:18 of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. 14He gave Himself for us # Mt 20:28; Mk 10:45; Rm 8:32; Gl 1:4; 2:20; Eph 5:2,25; 1Tm 2:6 to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for Himself a people for His own possession, # Ex 19:5; Lk 1:68 eager to do good works.
15Say these things, and encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard # Or despise you.
