Titus 2
1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
That the aged men be sober minded, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
That they may teach the young women to be sober minded, to love their husbands, to love 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.
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing integrity, gravity, sincerity,
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.
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
Not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this 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 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah;
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 redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
