< Titus 2 >
1 But do you, on your part, speak what becomes sound teaching;
Bvt speake thou the thinges which become wholesome doctrine,
2 that the older men be self-controlled, serious and sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
That the elder men be watchful, graue, teperate, sounde in the faith, in loue, and in patience:
3 that older women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers or slaves to much wine, but teachers of what is right.
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,
4 They should train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
That they may instruct the yong women to be sober minded, that they loue their husbands, that they loue their children,
5 to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind and submissive to their husbands, in order that God’s message be not maligned.
That they be temperate, chaste, keeping at home, good and subiect vnto their husbands, that the word of God be not euill spoken of.
6 The younger men exhort to be sober-minded; in every respect showing yourself an example of good works.
Exhort yong men likewise, that they bee sober minded.
7 In your teaching be serious and sincere.
In all things shewe thy selfe an ensample of good woorkes with vncorrupt doctrine, with grauitie, integritie,
8 Let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that our opponents may be ashamed because they find no evil things to say about us.
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.
9 Exhort slaves to be obedient to their own masters, and to be well- pleasing to them in every respect;
Let seruants be subiect to their masters, and please them in al things, not answering again,
10 not to contradict nor pilfer, but to exhibit praiseworthy trustworthiness in every thing, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Neither pickers, but that they shew al good faithfulnesse, that they may adorne the doctrine of God our Sauiour in all things.
11 "For God’s grace has shined forth bringing salvation to all men
For that grace of God, that bringeth saluation vnto all men, hath appeared,
12 And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn )
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 )
13 While we look for the blessed hope and epiphany of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Looking for that blessed hope, and appearing of that glorie of that mightie God, and of our Sauiour Iesus Christ,
14 He gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a people zealous of good works."
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.
15 Thus speak, exhort, reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
These things speake, and exhort, and conuince with all authoritie. See that no man despise thee.
