< Titus 2 >

1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
But speke thou tho thingis that bisemen hoolsum teching;
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
that elde men be sobre, chast, prudent, hool in feith, in loue, and pacience;
3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
also olde wymmen in hooli abite, not sclaundereris, not seruynge myche to wyn, wel techynge, that thei teche prudence.
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
Moneste thou yonge wymmen, that thei loue here hosebondis, that thei loue her children;
5 [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
and that thei be prudent, chast, sobre, hauynge cure of the hous, benygne, suget to her hosebondis, that the word of God be not blasfemyd.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
Also moneste thou yonge men, that thei be sobre.
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
In alle thingis yyue thi silf ensaumple of good werkis, in teching, in hoolnesse, in sadnesse.
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
An hoolsum word, and vnrepreuable; that he that is of the contrarie side, be aschamed, hauynge noon yuel thing to seie of you.
9 [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
Moneste thou seruauntis to be suget to her lordis; in alle thingis plesinge, not ayenseiynge, not defraudynge,
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
but in alle thingis schewinge good feith, that thei onoure in alle thingis the doctryn of `God, oure sauyour.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
For the grace of `God, oure sauyour, hath apperid to alle men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (aiōn g165)
and tauyte vs, that we forsake wickidnesse, and worldli desyris, lyue sobreli, and iustli, `and piteuousli in this world, (aiōn g165)
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
abidinge the blessid hope and the comyng of the glorie of the greet God, and of oure sauyour Jhesu Crist;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
that yaf hym silf for vs, to ayenbie vs fro al wickidnesse, and make clene to hym silf a puple acceptable, and suere of good werkis.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Speke thou these thingis, and moneste thou, and repreue thou with al comaundement; no man dispise thee.
