⁷ Show yourself in all respects to be ^(A)a model of good works, and in your teaching ^(B)show integrity, ^(C)dignity, ⁸ and ^(D)sound speech that cannot be condemned, ^(E)so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. ^9 (F)Bondservants^[a] are to be submissive to their own masters ^(G)in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, ¹⁰ not pilfering, ^(H)but showing all good faith, ^(I)so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

¹¹ For ^(J)the grace of God ^(K)has appeared, bringing salvation ^(L)for all people, ¹² training us to renounce ungodliness and ^(M)worldly passions, and ^(N)to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in ^(O)the present age, ^13 (P)waiting for our blessed ^(Q)hope, the ^(R)appearing of the glory of our great ^(S)God and Savior Jesus Christ, ^14 (T)who gave himself for us to ^(U)redeem us from all lawlessness and ^(V)to purify for himself ^(W)a people for his own possession who are ^(X)zealous for good works.

¹⁵ Declare these things; exhort and ^(Y)rebuke with all authority. ^(Z)Let no one disregard you.
