| 2:5 | To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. |
| 2:6 | Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. |
| 2:7 | In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, |

| 2:12 | Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; |
| 2:13 | Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; |
| 2:14 | Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. |
