Titus 2
1 Now you, speak the things that suit sound doctrine:
But do you speak the things that become sound teaching;
2 older men are to be sober, dignified, prudent, sound in the faith, in love and in endurance;
that the aged men be vigilant, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
3 similarly older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good
that the aged women likewise be, in deportment, as it becomes holy women, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things,
4 —so that they may instruct the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
That they may teach the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be prudent, pure, good homemakers, subordinating themselves to their own husbands, so that the Word of God not be maligned.
to be discreet, chaste, fond of home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not reviled.
6 Similarly, exhort the young men to be self-controlled,
Exhort the young men likewise to be sober-minded,
7 in all things presenting yourself as an example of good works: showing integrity, dignity and incorruptibility in your teaching
in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity,
8 —healthy speech, beyond reproach—so that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing slighting to say about us.
sound speech that can not be condemned; that he that is opposed may be ashamed, seeing he has no evil thing to say of us.
9 Exhort slaves to subordinate themselves to their own owners, to be well pleasing in all things, not talking back,
Exhort servants to be subject to their own masters, and to please them well in all things, not contradicting,
10 not pilfering but showing total trustworthiness, so as to adorn the doctrine of our Savior God in everything.
not stealing, but showing all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things.
11 For the saving grace of God has appeared for all men,
For the grace of God, which brings salvation to all men, has appeared,
12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live prudently, righteously and godly in this present age, (aiōn g165)
teaching us, that denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age; (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope, even the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
looking for the blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 who gave Himself for us, so that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify for Himself a special people, zealous for good works.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 Speak these things, whether you exhort or reprove, with all authority. Let no one disdain you.
Speak these things, and exhort and rebuke with all strictness. Let no one despise you.
