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

but at the proper time has disclosed his message in the proclamation [with] which I was entrusted according to the command of God our Savior,

whom it is necessary to silence, whoever are ruining whole families [by] teaching [things] which must not be [taught] for the sake of dishonest gain.

This testimony is true, for which reason reprove them severely, in order that they may be sound in the faith,

But you, speak [the things] which are fitting for sound instruction.
