Titus 2
1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
But do you inculcate the things which become wholesome doctrine:
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 vigilant, grave, prudent, healthy by faith, love, 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 aged women, in like manner, be in deportment as becomes sacred persons--not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, good teachers;
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
that they may persuade 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.
to be calm, chaste, careful of their families, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be defamed.
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;
The young men, in like manner, exhort to govern their passions.
7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,
In all things make yourself a pattern of good works: in teaching, show incorruptness, 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.
wholesome speech which can not be condemned; that he who is on the opposite side may be ashamed, having nothing bad 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 subject to their own masters, and in all things be careful to please, 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 secretly stealing, 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 favor of God, which brings salvation, has 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, Jesus Christ;
expecting the blessed hope; namely, the appearing of the glory of the great God, and of 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.
