¹But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

¹Ti, naprotiv, govori što se priliči zdravu nauku:

²that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:

²starci da budu trijezni, ozbiljni, razumni, zdrave vjere, ljubavi, postojanosti;

³and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

³starice isto tako - vladanja kakvo dolikuje svetima: ne klevetnice, ne ropkinje mnogog vina, nego učiteljice dobra

⁴that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁴da urazumljuju mlađe neka ljube svoje muževe, djecu,

⁵to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.

⁵neka budu razumne, čiste, kućevne, dobre, podložne svojim muževima da se riječ Božja ne bi pogrđivala.

⁶Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;

⁶Mladiće isto tako potiči da budu razumni.

⁷in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

⁷U svemu se pokaži uzorom dobrih djela: u poučavanju - nepokvarljivost, ozbiljnost,

⁸and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

⁸riječ zdrava, besprigovorna da se onaj nasuprot postidi nemajući o nama reći ništa zlo.

⁹Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;

⁹Robovi neka se svojim gospodarima u svemu podlažu, ugađaju im, ne proturječe,

¹⁰not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

¹⁰ne pronevjeruju, nego neka im iskazuju svaku dobru vjernost da u svemu budu ures nauku Spasitelja našega, Boga.

¹¹For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹¹Pojavila se doista milost Božja, spasiteljica svih ljudi;

¹²instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

¹²odgojila nas da se odreknemo bezbožnosti i svjetovnih požuda te razumno, pravedno i pobožno živimo u sadašnjem svijetu,

¹³looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;

¹³iščekujući blaženu nadu i pojavak slave velikoga Boga i Spasitelja našega Isusa Krista.

¹⁴who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

¹⁴On sebe dade za nas da nas otkupi od svakoga bezakonja i očisti sebi Narod izabrani koji revnuje oko dobrih djela.

¹⁵Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.

¹⁵To govori, zapovijedaj, karaj sa svom vlašću. Nitko neka te ne prezire.
