< Titus 2 >
1 But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ
2 that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:

3 that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
ⲅ̅ⲛϩⲗⲗⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲣⲡ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲛⲣⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲛϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲣⲙⲁⲓⲡⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲓⲛⲉⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ
5 [to be] sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
ⲉ̅ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲏ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲧⲉϣⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:

7 in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity,

8 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 [Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;
ⲑ̅ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ ⲁⲛ
10 not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

11 For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12 instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (aiōn )

13 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, 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 reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
