¹³ this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

² aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;

¹⁰ because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat `any' sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

¹⁵ these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!

²⁰ Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;

² preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

⁶ These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,

⁹ I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us;

¹⁰ for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,

¹¹ for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

¹² If, then, I also wrote to you -- not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God --

⁵ Better `is' open reproof than hidden love.

⁵ The righteous doth beat me `in' kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer `is' about their vexations.

⁸⁰ My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not ashamed.

¹⁷ `Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on him.
