2:4 In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,
2:5 to be self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited.
2:6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,
2:7 showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
2:8 and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss, because he has nothing evil to say about us.
