etans are always
liars, evil beasts, lazy gormandizers. [1:13]This testimony is true.
Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
[1:14]not attending to Jewish myths, and commandments of men who
subvert the truth. [1:15]To the pure all things are pure; but to the
defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their mind and conscience
are defiled. [1:16]They profess to know God, but by works deny him,
being abominable and disobedient, and as to every good work reprobate.

4 [2:1]Speak things which become sound teaching. [2:2]That the aged men
be sober, grave, of sound mind, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
[2:3]that the aged women, in like manner, be of behavior becoming
holiness, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what
is good, [2:4]that they may instruct the young women to be lovers of
their husbands, lovers of their children, [2:5]sober, pure, fond of

men, [2:12]teaching us, that denying impiety and worldly desires we
should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in the present life,
[2:13]looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the
great God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, [2:14]who gave himself for
us, that he might redeem us from all wickedness, and purify for himself
a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

7 [2:15]These things speak, and exhort, and reprove with all authority;
let no man despise you. [3:1]Admonish them to be subject to
principalities, to powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every
good work, [3:2]to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle,
showing all meekness to all men. [3:3]For we formerly were foolish,
disobedient, deceived, serving various desires and pleasures, living in
malice and envy, detestable, and hating one another; [3:4] but when the
