American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
But speak thou the things which befit the {Greek: healthy.}sound {Or, teaching}doctrine:
that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, {Greek: healthy.}sound in faith, in love, in {Or, stedfastness}patience:
In like manner, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the {Or, manner of life verse 16}behavior of their wives;
the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
A soft answer turneth away wrath;But a grievous word stirreth up anger.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith {Or, wrought}working through love.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
And we know and have believed the love which God hath {Or, in our case}in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.
