³ Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers^(A) or addicted to much wine,^(B) but to teach what is good. ⁴ Then they can urge the younger women^(C) to love their husbands and children, ⁵ to be self-controlled^(D) and pure, to be busy at home,^(E) to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands,^(F) so that no one will malign the word of God.^(G)

⁶ Similarly, encourage the young men^(H) to be self-controlled.^{(I) 7} In everything set them an example^(J) by doing what is good.^(K) In your teaching show integrity, seriousness ⁸ and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.^(L)

⁹ Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything,^(M) to try to please them, not to talk back to them, ¹⁰ and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior^(N) attractive.^(O)

¹¹ For the grace^(P) of God has appeared^(Q) that offers salvation to all people.^(R)
