2:4 In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands , to love their children ,
2:5 to be self-controlled , pure , fulfilling their duties at home , kind , being subject to their own husbands , so that the message of God may not be discredited .
2:6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled ,
2:7 showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way . In your teaching show integrity , dignity ,
2:8 and a sound message that cannot be criticized , so that any opponent will be at a loss , because he has nothing evil to say about us .
2:9 Slaves are to be subject to their own masters in everything , to do what is wanted and not talk back ,
2:10 not pilfering , but showing all good faith , in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything .
2:11 For the grace of God has appeared , bringing salvation to all people .
2:12 It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live self-controlled , upright , and godly lives in the present age ,
2:13 as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior , Jesus Christ .
2:14 He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good .
2:15 So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuke that carries full authority . Don’t let anyone look down on you .
