Titus 2:2-10

2 1Older men are to be 2 3temperate, dignified, self-controlled, 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, 17so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

9Urge 18 19slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing, not 20argumentative, 10not stealing, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of 21God our Savior in every respect.
