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.

11For #ch. 3:7; See Acts 11:23 the grace of God #ch. 3:4 has appeared, bringing salvation #[Ps. 67:2]; See 1 Tim. 2:4for all people, 12training us to renounce ungodliness and #1 Pet. 4:2; 1 John 2:16 worldly passions, and #2 Tim. 3:12; [Acts 24:25] to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in #1 Tim. 6:17; 2 Tim. 4:10the present age, 13#See 1 Cor. 1:7; 2 Pet. 3:12 waiting for our blessed #See ch. 1:2 hope, the #See 2 Thess. 2:8 appearing of the glory of our great #2 Pet. 1:1God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14#See Matt. 20:28 who gave himself for us to #Ps. 130:8; See 1 Pet. 1:18 redeem us from all lawlessness and #Ezek. 37:23; See Ex. 19:5 to purify for himself #Ezek. 37:23; See Ex. 19:5 a people for his own possession who are #ch. 3:8; Eph. 2:10zealous for good works.
15Declare these things; exhort and #ch. 1:13; 1 Tim. 5:20 rebuke with all authority. #See 1 Tim. 4:12Let no one disregard you.
