Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,
the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things —
and so train the young women to love their husbands and children,

to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
