in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,

The older men are to be temperate, serious, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.

so they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,

training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this present age,

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

so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

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