提多书2:2-5
2劝老年人,要有节制,端庄,自守,在信心爱心忍耐上,都要纯全无疵。3又劝老年妇人,举止行动要恭敬,不说谗言,不给酒作奴仆,用善道教训人。4好指教少年妇人,爱丈夫,爱儿女,5谨守贞洁,料理家务,待人有恩,顺服自己的丈夫,免得神的道理被毁谤。
2Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience. 3Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers.#2:3 Greek be enslaved to much wine. Instead, they should teach others what is good. 4These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, 5to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes,#2:5 Some manuscripts read to care for their homes. to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.
