< Titus 2 >

1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
But speke thou tho thingis that bisemen hoolsum teching;
2 that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
that elde men be sobre, chast, prudent, hool in feith, in loue, and pacience;
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
also olde wymmen in hooli abite, not sclaundereris, not seruynge myche to wyn, wel techynge, that thei teche prudence.
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
Moneste thou yonge wymmen, that thei loue here hosebondis, that thei loue her children;
5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and being subject to their own husbands, so that God's word may not be discredited.
and that thei be prudent, chast, sobre, hauynge cure of the hous, benygne, suget to her hosebondis, that the word of God be not blasfemyd.
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;
Also moneste thou yonge men, that thei be sobre.
7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,
In alle thingis yyue thi silf ensaumple of good werkis, in teching, in hoolnesse, in sadnesse.
8 and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
An hoolsum word, and vnrepreuable; that he that is of the contrarie side, be aschamed, hauynge noon yuel thing to seie of you.
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
Moneste thou seruauntis to be suget to her lordis; in alle thingis plesinge, not ayenseiynge, not defraudynge,
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
but in alle thingis schewinge good feith, that thei onoure in alle thingis the doctryn of `God, oure sauyour.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,
For the grace of `God, oure sauyour, hath apperid to alle men,
12 instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
and tauyte vs, that we forsake wickidnesse, and worldli desyris, lyue sobreli, and iustli, `and piteuousli in this world, (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;
abidinge the blessid hope and the comyng of the glorie of the greet God, and of oure sauyour Jhesu Crist;
14 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.
that yaf hym silf for vs, to ayenbie vs fro al wickidnesse, and make clene to hym silf a puple acceptable, and suere of good werkis.
15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
Speke thou these thingis, and moneste thou, and repreue thou with al comaundement; no man dispise thee.
