Titus 2
1 But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.
But do thou speak the things which become sound teaching;
2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
that aged men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.
that aged women likewise be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good,
4 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,
that they may teach the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.
to be discreet, chaste, workers at home, good, in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
The younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded;
7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
in all things showing thyself a pattern of good works, in teaching showing uncorruptness, gravity,
8 and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed to have nothing bad to say about us.
sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is opposed to us may be put to shame, having no evil thing to say of us.
9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
Exhort bond-servants to be in subjection to their own masters, in all things to be well-pleasing to them,
10 not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.
not contradicting, not purloining, but showing all good faith; that they may adorn the teaching of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation to all men, was manifested,
12 It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age, (aiōn g165)
teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world; (aiōn g165)
13 as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
looking for the blessed hope, and appearing of the glory of the great God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people to be his own, zealous in good works.
15 Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
These things speak and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
