Titus 2

1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

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

that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:

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

and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

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

that they may train the young women 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 self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and being subject to their own husbands, so that God's word may not be discredited.

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

Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;

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

in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,

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.

and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you 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:

Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing 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 fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine 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 has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,

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

instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, 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,

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory 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 people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

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

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
