¹But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

¹Abanan li c'a'ru tâch'olob chiruheb laj pâbanel, chaq'uehak retal re nak a'an tz'akal lix yâlal li tâch'olob chiruheb.

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

²Chaq'ueheb xna'leb li chêquel cuînk re nak inc'a' te'calâk ut châbilakeb xna'leb. Toj che'xc'oxla chi us li c'a'ru te'xbânu ut che'pâbânk chi anchaleb xch'ôl. Chixjunil li te'xbânu, che'xbânuhak xban nak neque'xra li ras rîtz'in ut che'xcuyak li raylal.

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

³Ut chaq'ueheb ajcui' xna'lebeb li chêquel ixk. Chic'utûnk lix lok'aleb riq'uin lix tîquilal xch'ôleb. Inc'a' te'xyo'ob âtin chirixeb li ras rîtz'in ut inc'a' te'calâk. A'anakeb ban chic aj c'amol be sa' li tîquilal.

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

⁴Riq'uin lix châbilal li chêquel ixk te'xc'ut chiruheb li ixakilbej li toj sâjeb nak te'xra lix bêlom jo' ajcui' lix coc'aleb.

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

⁵Te'xc'ut chiruheb nak châbilakeb xna'leb, tîcakeb lix ch'ôleb ut te'ril lix jun cablal chi us. Châbilakeb ut che'pâbânk chiru lix bêlomeb. Che'cuânk sa' xyâlal re nak inc'a' tâsachmânk xcuanquil li colba-ib q'uebil ke xban li Dios.

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

⁶Ut chaq'ueheb ajcui' xna'lebeb li sâj cuînk re nak te'xc'oxla chi us li c'a'ru te'xbânu re nak te'cuânk sa' tîquilal.

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

⁷Ut riq'uin chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru tâbânu, lâat tatc'amok be chiruheb sa' tîquilal. Chi anchalak âch'ôl ut châbilak lâ yu'am nak tâc'ut lix yâlal chiruheb.

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.

⁸Ut nak tat-âtinak, tz'akal re ru li c'a'ru tâye re nak mâ ani tâcuech'înk rix li c'a'ru tâye. Chi jo'can te'xutânâk li xic' neque'iloc ke ut mâc'a' c'a' re ru naru te'xye chikix lâo aj pâbanel.

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

⁹Chaq'ueheb ajcui' xna'lebeb li môs re nak che'abînk chiruheb lix patroneb. Inc'a' te'sumênk. Che'xbânuhak ban li c'a'ru tâyehek' reheb re nak sahakeb sa' xch'ôl lix patrón riq'uineb.

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

¹⁰Inc'a' che'relk'a li c'a'ru reheb lix patroneb. Che'xbânuhak ban lix c'anjel chi châbil ut chi anchalakeb xch'ôl re nak tâq'uehek' xlok'al li resilal li Dios li kaColonel riq'uin chixjunil li te'xbânu.

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

¹¹Li Dios quixc'utbesi lix nimal ruxtân re xcolbaleb chixjunileb li cuanqueb jun sut rubel choxa.

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

¹²Lix nimal ruxtân li Dios naxc'ut chiku nak li Dios naraj nak takacanab xbânunquil li mâusilal. Chikacanab xbânunquil li inc'a' us li naxrahi ru li kach'ôl.

¹³Jo'can taxak yôko nak yôko chiroybeninquil li lok'laj cutan nak tol-êlk cui'chic li Jesucristo li nakayo'oni. Sa' li cutan a'an tâc'utbesîk chiku lix lok'al li kanimajcual Dios, li Jesucristo laj Colol ke.

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.

¹⁴A'an quixk'axtesi rib chi câmc sa' kac'aba' lâo re nak tocolek' chiru li mâusilal.

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