Titus 2
1 But speak thou the things that are fitting for the sound doctrine.
But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
2 Aged men are to be sober, noble, serious minded, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.
that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
3 Aged women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderous, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good,
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 so that they may admonish the young women to be sensible, to love their husbands, to love their children,
that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be serious-minded, pure, homemakers, good, submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
[to be] sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
6 Likewise exhort the younger men to be sober-minded.
the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
7 Concerning all things presenting thyself a pattern of good works in the doctrine: incorruption, dignity, incorruptibility,
in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity,
8 sound speech, irreproachable, so that the man of opposition may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.
9 Bondmen are to be obedient to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not speaking contrary,
[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;
10 not pilfering, but demonstrating all good fidelity, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,
For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12 disciplining us, so that, having denied irreverence and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and piously in the present age. (aiōn g165)
instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (aiōn g165)
13 Awaiting the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 who gave himself for us, so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a special people, a zealot of good works.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak and exhort and rebuke with every command. Let no man disregard thee.
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
