So<n id="1" /> when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave<n id="2" /> well.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with<n id="1" /> sound teaching.

Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled,<n id="1" /> sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.<n id="2" />

sexually immoral people, practicing homosexuals,<n id="1" /> kidnappers, liars, perjurers &#8211; in fact, for any who live contrary to sound teaching.

Hold to the standard<n id="1" /> of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.<n id="2" />

Dear friend, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.<n id="1" />

Jesus<n id="1" /> answered them, &#8220;Those who are well don&#8217;t need a physician, but those who are sick do.<n id="2" />

If someone spreads false teachings<n id="1" /> and does not agree with sound words (that is, those of our Lord Jesus Christ) and with the teaching that accords with godliness,

For there will be a time when people<n id="1" /> will not tolerate sound teaching. Instead, following their own desires,<n id="2" /> they will accumulate teachers for themselves, because they have an insatiable curiosity to hear new things.<n id="3" />

He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught,<n id="1" /> so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching<n id="2" /> and correct those who speak against it.p>

The slave replied,<n id="1" /> &#8216;Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf<n id="2" /> because he got his son<n id="3" /> back safe and sound.&#8217;
