< Titus 2 >
1 Bvt speake thou the thinges which become wholesome doctrine,
But do thou speak the things which become sound teaching;
2 That the elder men be watchful, graue, teperate, sounde in the faith, in loue, and in patience:
that aged men be sober, grave, discreet, 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 in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what 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 teach 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 discreet, chaste, workers at home, good, 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 a pattern of good works, in teaching 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 opposed to us may be put to shame, 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 bond-servants to be in subjection to their own masters, in all things to be well-pleasing to them,
10 Neither pickers, but that they shew al good faithfulnesse, that they may adorne the doctrine of God our Sauiour in all things.
not contradicting, not purloining, but showing all good faith; that they may adorn the teaching 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, that bringeth salvation to all men, was manifested,
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 )
teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world; (aiōn )
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 of 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 to himself a people to be his own, zealous in 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 one despise thee.
