Titus 2

1 But do you, on your part, speak what becomes sound teaching;

But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

2 that the older men be self-controlled, serious and sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, 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.

and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 They should train the younger women to love their husbands and 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.

to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed.

6 The younger men exhort to be sober-minded; in every respect showing yourself an example of good works.

Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;

7 In your teaching be serious and sincere.

in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,

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 a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

9 Exhort slaves to be obedient to their own masters, and to be well- pleasing to them in every respect;

Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;

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.

not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

11 "For God’s grace has shined forth bringing salvation to all men

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,

12 And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)

instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)

13 While we look for the blessed hope and epiphany of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Yeshua Meshikha;

14 He gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a people zealous of good works."

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

15 Thus speak, exhort, reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
