Titus 2

1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

But do you speak the things that become sound teaching;

2 That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

that the aged men be vigilant, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

3 The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:

that the aged women likewise be, in deportment, as it becomes holy women, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things,

4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,

That they may teach the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

to be discreet, chaste, fond of home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not reviled.

6 Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.

Exhort the young men likewise to be sober-minded,

7 In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,

8 The sound word that can not be blamed: that he, who is on the contrary part, may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.

sound speech that can not be condemned; that he that is opposed may be ashamed, seeing he has no evil thing to say of us.

9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:

Exhort servants to be subject to their own masters, and to please them well in all things, not contradicting,

10 Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things:

not stealing, but showing all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things.

11 For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men;

For the grace of God, which brings salvation to all men, has appeared,

12 Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world, (aiōn g165)

teaching us, that denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age; (aiōn g165)

13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,

looking for the blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

15 These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Speak these things, and exhort and rebuke with all strictness. Let no one despise you.
