in the hope of eternal life which God, who does not lie, promised before eternal ages,

Older men are to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, [and] in endurance.

in order that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands [and to] love their children,

training us in order that, denying impiety and worldly desires, we may live self-controlled and righteously and godly in the present age,

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

so that, having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

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