Titus 2

1 But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

But speak thou the things that belong to wholesome doctrine.

2 That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

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.

3 The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:

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,

4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,

making the younger women to be modest, to love their husbands and their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

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.

6 Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.

And likewise exhort young men to be sober.

7 In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,

And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful,

8 The sound word that can not be blamed: that he, who is on the contrary part, may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.

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.

9 Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:

Let servants obey their masters in every thing, and strive to please them, and not contradict, nor pilfer;

10 Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things:

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.

11 For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men;

For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed to all men;

12 Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world, (aiōn g165)

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)

13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,

looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah;

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.

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.

15 These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.
