Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,

Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.

In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,

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.

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.
