Titus 2

Duties of the Older and Younger

1But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for 1sound doctrine. 2 2Older men are to be 3temperate, dignified, sensible, 4sound 5in faith, in love, in 6perseverance.

3Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, 7not malicious gossips nor 8enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, 4so that they may 9encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5to be sensible, pure, 10workers at home, kind, being 11subject to their own husbands, 12so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

6Likewise urge 13the young men to be 14sensible; 7in all things show yourself to be 15an example of good deeds, with 16purity in doctrine, dignified, 8sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so 17that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

9Urge 18bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not 19argumentative, 10not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of 20God our Savior in every respect.

11For the grace of God has 21appeared, 22 23bringing salvation to all men, 12 24instructing us to deny ungodliness and 25worldly desires and 26to live sensibly, righteously and godly 27in the present age, 13looking for the blessed hope and the 28appearing of the glory of 29 30our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14who 31gave Himself for us 32to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to 33purify for Himself a 34people for His own possession, 35zealous for good deeds.

15These things speak and 36exhort and 37reprove with all 38authority. 39Let no one disregard you.
