Titus 2

1 But you—speak what is suitable [according] to the sound teaching.

But speak you 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 aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in love, (agape) 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,

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,

That they may teach the young women to be sober, 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 discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word (logos) of God be not blasphemed.

6 The younger men, in like manner, exhort [them] to be sober-minded.

Young men likewise 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 showing yourself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

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 speech, (logos) that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

9 Servants [are] to be subject to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

10 not stealing, but showing all good steadfastness, that the teaching of God our Savior they may adorn in all things.

Not embezzling, but showing 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 that brings salvation has appeared to 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)

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (aiōn g165)

13 waiting for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our 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 unto himself an exclusive 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 exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you.
