Titus 2
1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
But do, thou, speak the things which become the healthful instruction: —
2 that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
That, aged men, be, sober, grave, sober-minded, healthy in their faith, love, endurance;
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, —
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
That they may constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,
5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and being subject to their own husbands, so that God's word may not be discredited.
soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, —that, the word of God, be not defamed;
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;
The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:
7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,
In all things, shewing, thyself, an ensample of noble works, —in thine instruction, uncorruptness, gravity,
8 and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
healthful discourse that cannot be condemned, in order that, he that is of the contrary part, may relent, having nothing to say concerning us that is disparaging:
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well-pleasing, not gainsaying,
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
not taking anything away, shewing, all good faith, —that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,
For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,
12 instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
Putting us under discipline—in order that, —denying ourselves of ungodliness and worldly covetings, in a soberminded and righteous and godly manner, we should live, in the present age, (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;
Prepared to welcome the happy hope and forthshining of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus, —
14 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.
Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure—zealous of noble works.
15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
As to these things, be speaking and exhorting and reproving, with all manner of precept: let, no one, disregard thee!
