Titus 2

1 But as for yoʋ, teach what is consistent with sound doctrine.

But do thou speak the things which become sound doctrine:

2 Elderly men are to be sober-minded, dignified, sensible, and sound in faith, love, and endurance.

that aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, in patience:

3 Elderly women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderous or enslaved to much wine, but teaching what is good,

the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 so that they can admonish the young women to be loving to their husbands, loving to their children,

that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent,

5 sensible, pure, homemakers, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.

chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be of sound mind.

Exhort the young men in like manner to be temperate:

7 Show yoʋrself to be a model of good works in every way, and in yoʋr teaching show integrity, dignity, incorruptibility,

in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;

8 and sound speech that is above reproach, so that any opponent may be put to shame because he has nothing bad to say about us.

that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you.

9 Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters and well-pleasing in everything, not talking back,

Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things,

10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in every way they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior.

not answering frowardly, not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all people,

For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men;

12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly manner in the present age, (aiōn g165)

teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in this present world; (aiōn g165)

13 as we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ:

14 He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for 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 Declare these things; encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise yoʋ.

These things speak, and exhort; and reprove offenders with all authority: that none may despise thee.
