Surrounding context
that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance:
and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,
to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.
Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;
in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
