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

9 Urge ^{▼▼I.e., slaves in first-century Roman culture
