Paul, servant of God, and sent of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen of God, and the acknowledgment of the truth according to devotion;

But hospitable, a lover of good, of sound mind, just, holy, holding firm;

Holding firmly the faithful word according to instruction, that he may be able also to beseech in sound doctrine, and to refute those opposing.

This testimony is true. For this cause reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the faith;

And do thou speak what becomes sound doctrine:

The aged men to be sober, grave, of sound mind, sound in the faith, in love, in patience.

Of sound mind chaste, remaining at home, good subordinates to their own husbands, that the word of God be not defamed.

The younger men likewise beseech to be of sound mind.

The word sound, not to be condemned; that he from the opposite may be changed, having nothing bad to say of you.

When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be earnest to come to me at Nicopolis: for there have I chosen to pass the winter.

Send forward zealously Zenas pertaining to the law, and Apollos, that nothing fail them.
