6 Likewise urge ^mthe young men to be ^{▼▼ Or sensible in all things; show}sensible; 7 in all things show yourself to be ^oan example of good deeds, with ^{▼▼ Or soundness; lit uncorruptness}purity in doctrine, dignified, 8 sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so ^qthat the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

9 Urge ^rbondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not ^{▼▼ Lit contradicting}argumentative, 10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of ^tGod our Savior in every respect.
