Titus 2

1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

But do you inculcate the things which become wholesome doctrine:

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

that aged men be vigilant, grave, prudent, healthy by faith, love, patience.

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

That aged women, in like manner, be in deportment as becomes sacred persons--not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, good teachers;

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

that they may persuade the young women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of 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 calm, chaste, careful of their families, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be defamed.

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

The young men, in like manner, exhort to govern their passions.

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

In all things make yourself a pattern of good works: in teaching, show incorruptness, 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.

wholesome speech which can not be condemned; that he who is on the opposite side may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say concerning you.

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 in all things be careful to please, not answering again,

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

not secretly stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

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

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

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 lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world-- (aiōn g165)

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

expecting the blessed hope; namely, the appearing of the glory of the great God, and of our 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 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 man despise thee.

These things inculcate, and exhort, and reprove with all authority; let no one despise you.
