< Titus 2 >

1 Bvt speake thou the thinges which become wholesome doctrine,
But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
2 That the elder men be watchful, graue, teperate, sounde in the faith, in loue, and in patience:
that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
3 The elder women likewise, that they be in such behauiour as becommeth holinesse, not false accusers, not subiect to much wine, but teachers of honest things,
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 That they may instruct the yong women to be sober minded, that they loue their husbands, that they loue their children,
that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 That they be temperate, chaste, keeping at home, good and subiect vnto their husbands, that the word of God be not euill spoken of.
[to be] sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
6 Exhort yong men likewise, that they bee sober minded.
the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
7 In all things shewe thy selfe an ensample of good woorkes with vncorrupt doctrine, with grauitie, integritie,
in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity,
8 And with the wholesome woorde, which can not be condemned, that hee which withstandeth, may be ashamed, hauing nothing concerning you to speake euill of.
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 Let seruants be subiect to their masters, and please them in al things, not answering again,
[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;
10 Neither pickers, but that they shew al good faithfulnesse, that they may adorne the doctrine of God our Sauiour in all things.
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For that grace of God, that bringeth saluation vnto all men, hath appeared,
For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12 And teacheth vs that we should denie vngodlinesse and worldly lusts, and that we should liue soberly and righteously, and godly in this present 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 that blessed hope, and appearing of that glorie of that mightie God, and of our Sauiour Iesus Christ,
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gaue him selfe for vs, that hee might redeeme vs from all iniquitie, and purge vs to bee a peculiar people vnto himselfe, zealous of good woorkes.
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 speake, and exhort, and conuince with all authoritie. See that no man despise thee.
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
