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 doctrine:
2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
that aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in the 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.
the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,
that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent,
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.
chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
Exhort the young men in like manner to be temperate:
7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;
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.
that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you.
9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things,
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 answering frowardly, not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine 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, 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)
teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in this 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 glorious appearance of the great God, and 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 peculiar people, zealous of 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 reprove offenders with all authority: that none may despise thee.
