t aged women likewise be in behavior as becomes
holiness, not false accusers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of
that which is good; (4)that they may teach the young women to love
their husbands, to love their children, (5)to be discreet, chaste,
keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word

(6)The younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded. (7)In all
things showing thyself a pattern of good works; in teaching, showing
uncorruptness, gravity, (8)sound speech, that can not be condemned;
