Titus 2
1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
But do thou 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 elder men be sober, grave, discreet, 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 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;
4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,
that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [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.
discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
6 Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:
7 In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, 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.
a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:
9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;
10 Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things:
not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.
11 For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men;
For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for 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, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, (aiōn g165)
13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,
awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour 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 lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
