Titus 2

1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:

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

that aged men be temperate, grave, soberminded, 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 aged women likewise be reverent in demeanour, 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] soberminded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:

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

the younger men likewise exhort to be soberminded:

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

in all things shewing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, 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 cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having 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 in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; 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 purloining, but shewing 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 grace of God hath appeared, 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)

instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and 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,

looking for 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 iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

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

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
