New American Standard Bible 1995

Titus 2:2-9

2 1Older men are to be 2temperate, dignified, sensible, 3sound 4in faith, in love, in 5perseverance.

3Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, 6not malicious gossips nor 7enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, 4so that they may 8encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5to be sensible, pure, 9workers at home, kind, being 10subject to their own husbands, 11so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

6Likewise urge 12the young men to be 13sensible; 7in all things show yourself to be 14an example of good deeds, with 15purity in doctrine, dignified, 8sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so 16that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

9Urge 17bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not 18argumentative,
