Following the True Teaching
2 1You must tell people the things they must do to follow the true teaching. 2Teach
the older men to have self-control, to be serious, and to be wise. They should be
strong in the faith, strong in love, and strong in patience.

3Also, teach the older women to be holy* in the way they live. Teach them not to
speak against other people or have the habit of drinking too much wine. Those women
should teach what is good. 4In that way they can teach the younger women to love
their husbands and children. 5They can teach the younger women to be wise and to
be pure, to take care of their homes, to be kind, and to obey their husbands. Then
no person will be able to criticize the teaching God gave us.

6In the same way, tell the young men to be wise. 7You should do good things to be
an example in every way for the young men. When you teach, be honest and serious.
8And when you speak, speak the truth so that you cannot be criticized. Then any
person who is against you will be ashamed because he has nothing bad that he can
say against us.

9And tell these things to the people who are slaves: They should obey their masters
at all times; they should try to please their masters; they should not argue with
their masters; 10they should not steal from their masters; and they should show
their masters that they can be trusted. The slaves should do these things so that
in everything they do, they will show that the teaching of God our Savior is good.

11[That is the way we should live], because God's grace (kindness) has come. That
grace can save every person. And that grace has been given to us. 12That grace teaches
us not to live against God and not to do the bad things the world wants to do. That
grace teaches us to live on earth now in a wise and right way--a way that shows
that we serve God. 13We should live like that while we are waiting for the coming
of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. He is our great hope, and he will come
with glory. 14He gave himself for us. He died to free us from all evil. He died
to make us pure people that belong only to him--people that are always wanting
to do good things.

15Tell the people these things. You have full authority (power). So use that authority
to help the people and to correct them when they are wrong. And don't let any person
treat you like you are not important.

Footnotes: holy Showing reverence and respect for God.
