Titus 2
1 But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.
But speak thou that which becometh sound doctrine,
2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
and teach, That the elders be watchful in their minds, and be chaste and pure, and sound in the faith, and in charity, and in patience.
3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.
And so also the aged women, that they be in behaviour what becometh the fear of Aloha, and not slanderers, nor enslaved to much wine, and that they teach good things;
4 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,
making those who are young modest, to love their husbands and 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.
and to be chaste and holy, well mindful of their houses, and submissive to their husbands, that no man blaspheme the word of Aloha.
6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
And of those who are young men, likewise, require that they be chaste.
7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
But in every thing show thyself the example in all good works, and in doctrine let there be with thee sound speech which is sincere and incorrupt,
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.
and which no man will despise, that he who riseth against us may be ashamed when he cannot say any thing hateful against us.
9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
Let servants to their masters be submissive in every thing, and please them, not contradicting,
10 not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.
nor pilfering; but let them show their good-trustiness in every thing, that they may adorn in every thing the doctrine of Aloha our Saviour.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
FOR the all-saving grace of Aloha hath appeared to all men,
12 It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age, (aiōn g165)
and teacheth us to deny wickedness and the lusts of the world, and to live in this world in purity, and in rectitude, and in the fear of Aloha, (aiōn g165)
13 as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
while expecting the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha;
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, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to cleanse unto himself a new people, who are zealous of good works.
15 Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
These speak, and require, and maintain with all authority, and no man shall despise thee.
