Titus 2

1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

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

4 that they may train the young women 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] sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:

6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;

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

in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] 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.

sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.

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 in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;

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

not purloining, 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,

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

instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and 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, Jesus Christ;

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory 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.
