Titus 2

1 Bvt speake thou the thinges which become wholesome doctrine,

But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

2 That the elder men be watchful, graue, teperate, sounde in the faith, in loue, and in patience:

that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,

3 The elder women likewise, that they be in such behauiour as becommeth holinesse, not false accusers, not subiect to much wine, but teachers of honest things,

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

4 That they may instruct the yong women to be sober minded, that they loue their husbands, that they loue their children,

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

5 That they be temperate, chaste, keeping at home, good and subiect vnto their husbands, that the word of God be not euill spoken of.

to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.

6 Exhort yong men likewise, that they bee sober minded.

Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.

7 In all things shewe thy selfe an ensample of good woorkes with vncorrupt doctrine, with grauitie, integritie,

In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

8 And with the wholesome woorde, which can not be condemned, that hee which withstandeth, may be ashamed, hauing nothing concerning you to speake euill of.

and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

9 Let seruants be subiect to their masters, and please them in al things, not answering again,

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

10 Neither pickers, but that they shew al good faithfulnesse, that they may adorne the doctrine of God our Sauiour in all things.

not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

11 For that grace of God, that bringeth saluation vnto all men, hath appeared,

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12 And teacheth vs that we should denie vngodlinesse and worldly lusts, and that we should liue soberly and righteously, and godly in this present world, (aiōn g165)

instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and appearing of that glorie of that mightie God, and of our Sauiour Iesus Christ,

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah,

14 Who gaue him selfe for vs, that hee might redeeme vs from all iniquitie, and purge vs to bee a peculiar people vnto himselfe, zealous of good woorkes.

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 These things speake, and exhort, and conuince with all authoritie. See that no man despise thee.

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
