Titus 2
1 But you—speak what is suitable [according] to the sound teaching.
BUT speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 Elders [are] to be temperate, dignified, sober, sound in faith, in the love, in the endurance.
that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3 Aged women, in like manner, in behavior as becomes sacred persons, not false accusers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things,
That the elder women also be sacredly becoming in their behaviour, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of propriety;
4 that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,
that they instruct the young women to be discreet, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 sober, pure, keepers of [their own] houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that evil may not be spoken of the word of God.
to be sober, domestic, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not ill reported of.
6 The younger men, in like manner, exhort [them] to be sober-minded.
The younger men in like manner exhort to be sober minded.
7 Concerning all things, present yourself [as] a pattern of good works—in the teaching [with] uncorruptedness, dignity,
In all things approving thyself as a pattern of good works: in thy teaching, shewing integrity, gravity, incorruptibility,
8 sound discourse [that is] blameless, so that he who is of the contrary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.
sound discourse, incapable of confutation; that he who is in opposition may be confounded, having nothing faulty to say of you.
9 Servants [are] to be subject to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
Let servants be subject to their own masters, in all things to be agreeable to them; not contradicting;
10 not stealing, but showing all good steadfastness, that the teaching of God our Savior they may adorn in all things.
not embezzling their property, but demonstrating all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,
For the grace of God which leads to salvation hath appeared unto all men,
12 teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, we may live soberly, and righteously, and piously in the present age, (aiōn g165)
instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day; (aiōn g165)
13 waiting for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
expecting the blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 who gave Himself for us, that He might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to Himself a special people, zealous of good works.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 Speak these things, and exhort and convict with all authority; let no one despise you!
These things speak and enjoin, and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
