1. You, however, must tell everyone how to live in a way that agrees with the true teaching.
2. Teach the older men to have self-control, to be serious, and to be wise. They must be strong in faith, in love, and in patience.
3. Also, teach the older women to live the way those who serve the Lord should live. They should not go around saying bad things about others or be in the habit of drinking too much. They should teach what is good.
