Titus 2

1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

But do you, on your part, speak what becomes sound teaching;

2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

that the older men be self-controlled, serious and sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

that older women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers or slaves to much wine, but teachers of what is right.

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

They should train the younger women to love their husbands and children,

5 [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind and submissive to their husbands, in order that God’s message be not maligned.

6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

The younger men exhort to be sober-minded; in every respect showing yourself an example of good works.

7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

In your teaching be serious and sincere.

8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that our opponents may be ashamed because they find no evil things to say about us.

9 [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;

Exhort slaves to be obedient to their own masters, and to be well- pleasing to them in every respect;

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

not to contradict nor pilfer, but to exhibit praiseworthy trustworthiness in every thing, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

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

"For God’s grace has shined forth bringing salvation to all men

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (aiōn g165)

And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

While we look for the blessed hope and epiphany of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

He gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a people zealous of good works."

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

Thus speak, exhort, reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
