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:

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

That the elder women also be sacredly becoming in their behaviour, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of propriety;

4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

that they instruct the young women to be discreet, 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.

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

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

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, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day; (aiōn g165)

13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;

expecting the blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and 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.
