Titus 2
1 But speak thou the things that belong to wholesome doctrine.
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 And teach the older men to be watchful in their minds, and to be sober, and to be pure, and to be sound in the faith, and in love and in patience.
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience;
3 And so also the elder women, that they be in behavior as becometh the fear of God; and not to be slanderers; and not to be addicted to much wine; and to be inculcators of good things,
The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 making the younger women to be modest, to love their husbands and their children,
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be chaste and holy, and to take good care of their households, and to be obedient to their husbands; so that no one may reproach the word of God.
[To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 And likewise exhort young men to be sober.
Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded.
7 And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful,
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 such as is sober and uncorrupt; and let no one despise it: so that he who riseth up against us, may be ashamed, seeing he can say nothing odious against 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 Let servants obey their masters in every thing, and strive to please them, and not contradict, nor pilfer;
[Exhort] servants to be obedient to their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
10 but let them manifest that their fidelity, in all respects, is good: so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Life-giver, in all things.
Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11 For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed to all men;
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God, (aiōn g165)
Teaching us, that denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, in this present world; (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah;
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Savior Jesus Christ;
14 who gave himself for us, that he might recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
