Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work.

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.

They profess to know God but with their deeds they deny him, since they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.

not pilfering, but showing all good faith, in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything.
