2That old men are to be simple in their tastes, serious, wise, true in faith, in love, and of a quiet mind.
3That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good,
4Training the younger women to have love for their husbands and children,
5To be wise in mind, clean in heart, kind; working in their houses, living under the authority of their husbands; so that no evil may be said of the word of God.
6To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:
7In all things see that you are an example of good works; holy in your teaching, serious in behaviour,
8Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us.
