2 aged men vigilant ones to be, serious ones, prudent ones, sound ones in the faith, in the love, in the patience;

7 concerning all things thyself exhibiting a pattern of good works, in the teaching incorruptness, seriousness,

8 speech sound, not to be condemned so that he from of opposition may be ashamed, nothing having concerning us to say evil.

9 Slaves, to own masters to be submissive, in all things well–pleasing to be, not contradicting;

10 not purloining, but fidelity entire showing good; so that the teaching of the saviour of us of God they may adorn in all things.

13 waiting for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and savior of us Jesus Anointed;

14 who gave himself on behalf of us, so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and might purify for himself a people peculiar, zealous of good works.
