Titus 2:6-14

6Likewise urge 1the young men to be 2sensible; 7in all things show yourself to be 3an example of good deeds, with 4purity in doctrine, dignified, 8sound in speech which is beyond reproach, 5so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

9Urge 6 7slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing, not 8argumentative, 10not stealing, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of 9God our Savior in every respect.

11For the grace of God has 10appeared, 11 12bringing salvation to all people, 12 13instructing us to deny ungodliness and 14worldly desires and 15to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner 16in the present age, 13looking for the blessed hope and the 17appearing of the glory of 18 19our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14who 20gave Himself for us 21to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to 22purify for Himself a 23people for His own possession, 24eager for good deeds.
