1 A ti govori šta pristoji zdravoj nauci: 2 Starcima da budu trezni, pošteni, čisti, zdravi u veri, u ljubavi, u trpljenju; 3 staricama, takođe, da žive kao što se pristoji svetima, da ne budu opadljive, da se ne predaju vrlo vinu, da uče dobru, 4 da uče mlade da ljube muževe, da ljube decu, 5 da budu poštene, čiste, dobre domaćice, blage, pokorne svojim muževima, da se ne huli na reč Božiju. 6 Tako i mladiće savetuj da budu pošteni. 7 A u svemu sam sebe podaj za ugled dobrih dela, u nauci celost, poštenje, 8 reč zdravu, nezazornu: da se posrami onaj koji se protivi, ne imajući ništa zlo govoriti za nas. 9 Sluge da slušaju svoje gospodare, da budu ugodni u svačemu, da ne odgovaraju, 10 da ne kradu, nego u svačemu da pokazuju dobru veru, da nauku Spasitelja našeg Boga ukrašuju u svačemu. 11 Jer se pokaza blagodat Božja koja spasava sve ljude, 12 učeći nas da se odreknemo bezbožnosti i želja ovog sveta, i da pošteno i pravedno i pobožno poživimo na ovom svetu, 13 čekajući blaženu nadu i javljanje slave velikog Boga i Spasa našeg Isusa Hrista, 14 koji je dao sebe za nas da nas izbavi od svakog bezakonja, i da očisti sebi narod izbrani koji čezne za dobrim delima. 15 Ovo govori, i savetuj, i karaj sa svakom zapovešću da te niko ne prezire.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
There are some failings which age has, that youth has not. Some indeed it has in common with youth, but in addition it has a slowness, a timidity, a forgetfulness, an insensibility, and an irritability.
