in hope of eternal life, which God, who can not lie, promised be fore the times of the ages,

that the aged men be vigilant, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

That they may teach the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, to love their children,

teaching us, that denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age;

that, being justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

All that are with me salute you. Salute those who love us in faithfulness. Grace be with you all. Amen.
