For there are many people who are rebellious, especially those who are converts from Judaism. They speak utter nonsense and deceive people.

They must be silenced, because they are the kind of people who ruin whole families by teaching what they should not teach in order to make money in a shameful way.

That statement is true. For this reason, refute them sharply so that they may become healthy in the faith

They claim to know God, but they deny him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, and disqualified to do anything good.

Likewise, older women are to show their reverence for God by their behavior. They are not to be gossips or addicted to alcohol, but to be examples of goodness.

They should encourage the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,

or steal from them. Instead, they are to show complete and perfect loyalty, so that in every way they may make the teaching about God our Savior more attractive.

They are not to insult anyone or be argumentative. Instead, they are to be gentle and perfectly courteous to everyone.

Do all you can to send Zenas the expert in the Law and Apollos on their way, and see that they have everything they need.

Our own people should also learn to make good deeds a priority when urgent needs arise, so they won't be unproductive.
