in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

Older men are to be level headed, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love, and endurance.

so they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children,

instructing us to deny godlessness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly way in the present age,

But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love
for mankind appeared,

so that having been justified by His grace,
we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

All those who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.
