Titus 2
1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
But do you, on your part, speak what becomes sound teaching;
2 That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
that the older men be self-controlled, serious and 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 older women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers or slaves to much wine, but teachers of what is right.
4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,
They should train the younger women to love their husbands and 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 sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind and submissive to their husbands, in order that God’s message be not maligned.
6 Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
The younger men exhort to be sober-minded; in every respect showing yourself an example of good works.
7 In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
In your teaching be serious and sincere.
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.
Let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that our opponents may be ashamed because they find no evil things to say about us.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
Exhort slaves to be obedient to their own masters, and to be well- pleasing to them in every respect;
10 Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things:
not to contradict nor pilfer, but to exhibit praiseworthy trustworthiness in every thing, 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 God’s grace has shined forth bringing salvation 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)
And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,
While we look for the blessed hope and epiphany 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.
He gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a people zealous of good works."
15 These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Thus speak, exhort, reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
