Titus 2

1 But do thou speak the things that become sound teaching;

But do thou speak the things which become sound doctrine:

2 that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

that aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, in patience:

3 that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;

the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,

that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent,

5 discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

6 The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:

Exhort the young men in like manner to be temperate:

7 in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,

in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;

8 a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:

that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you.

9 bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;

Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things,

10 not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.

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 which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,

For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men;

12 teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, (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 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ:

14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for 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 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.

These things speak, and exhort; and reprove offenders with all authority: that none may despise thee.
