Titus 2
1 But you are to speak the things that befit sound doctrine.
But speak you those things which become healthy teaching.
2 Old men should be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
That the elderly men be sober, grave, prudent, sound in faith, in divine love, in patience:
3 Old women, similarly, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well,
likewise that the elderly women be reverent in demeanor, not tattlers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, love their children,
in order that they instruct the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 be sensible, chaste, restrained, have concern for the household, be kind, be subordinate to their husbands: so that the Word of God may be not blasphemed.
to be prudent, chaste, domestic, good, submissive to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
6 Exhort young men similarly, so that they may show self-restraint.
Likewise exhort the young men to be prudent:
7 In all things, present yourself as an example of good works: in doctrine, with integrity, with seriousness,
concerning all things exhibiting yourself an example of good works; in teaching; purity, gravity,
8 with sound words, irreproachably, so that he who is an opponent may dread that he has nothing evil to say about us.
the sound word, irrefutable, in order that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us.
9 Exhort servants to be submissive to their masters, in all things pleasing, not contradicting,
That servants submit to their own masters, that they be obedient in all things; not speaking back;
10 not cheating, but in all things showing good fidelity, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
not purloining, but exhibiting all good faith, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men,
For the grace of God, that brings salvation to all men, has appeared,
12 instructing us to reject impiety and worldly desires, so that we may live soberly and justly and piously in this age, (aiōn g165)
teaching us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we must live prudently and righteously and holily in this present age; (aiōn g165)
13 looking forward to the blessed hope and the advent of the glory of the great God and of our Savior Jesus Christ.
looking for the blessed hope even the appearing of the glory of our great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus;
14 He gave himself for our sake, so that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse for himself an acceptable people, pursuers of good works.
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 and exhort and argue these things with all authority. Let no one despise you.
Speak these things and exhort and convict with all authority; let no one despise thee.
