< Titus 2 >
1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
But speak thou that which becometh sound doctrine,
2 That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
and teach, That the elders be watchful in their minds, and be chaste and pure, and sound in the faith, and in charity, and in patience.
3 The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
And so also the aged women, that they be in behaviour what becometh the fear of Aloha, and not slanderers, nor enslaved to much wine, and that they teach good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,
making those who are young modest, to love their husbands and 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.
and to be chaste and holy, well mindful of their houses, and submissive to their husbands, that no man blaspheme the word of Aloha.
6 Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
And of those who are young men, likewise, require that they be chaste.
7 In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
But in every thing show thyself the example in all good works, and in doctrine let there be with thee sound speech which is sincere and incorrupt,
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 which no man will despise, that he who riseth against us may be ashamed when he cannot say any thing hateful against us.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
Let servants to their masters be submissive in every thing, and please them, 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:
nor pilfering; but let them show their good-trustiness in every thing, that they may adorn in every thing the doctrine of Aloha our Saviour.
11 For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men;
FOR the all-saving grace of Aloha hath 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 )
and teacheth us to deny wickedness and the lusts of the world, and to live in this world in purity, and in rectitude, and in the fear of Aloha, (aiōn )
13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,
while expecting the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha;
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, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to cleanse unto himself a new people, who are zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
These speak, and require, and maintain with all authority, and no man shall despise thee.
