< Titus 2 >

1 Bvt speake thou the thinges which become wholesome doctrine,
But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
2 That the elder men be watchful, graue, teperate, sounde in the faith, in loue, and in patience:
That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, 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,
The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
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 teach the young women to be wise, 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 discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Exhort yong men likewise, that they bee sober minded.
Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
7 In all things shewe thy selfe an ensample of good woorkes with vncorrupt doctrine, with grauitie, integritie,
In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in 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.
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.
9 Let seruants be subiect to their masters, and please them in al things, not answering again,
Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, 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 defrauding, but in all things shewing 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 our Saviour hath appeared 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, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this 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 coming 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 might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer 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 rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
