22 But ^fthe fruit of the Spirit is ^glove, ^hjoy, ⁱpeace, ^jpatience, ^kkindness, ^lgoodness, ^mfaithfulness, 23 ⁿgentleness, ^oself-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And ^pthose who ^qbelong to Christ Jesus have ^rcrucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become ^sconceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Teach Sound Doctrine

1 But as for you, teach what accords with ⁱsound¹ doctrine. 2 ^jOlder men are to be sober-minded, dignified, ^kself-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, ^lpure, ^mworking at home, kind, and ⁿsubmissive to their own husbands, ^othat the word of God may not be reviled. 6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. 7 Show yourself in all respects to be a ^pmodel of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8 and sound speech that cannot be condemned, ^qso that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. 9 ^rBondservants² are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
