Titus 2:9-15

9Urge 1 2slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing, not 3argumentative, 10not stealing, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of 4God our Savior in every respect.

11For the grace of God has 5appeared, 6 7bringing salvation to all people, 12 8instructing us to deny ungodliness and 9worldly desires and 10to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner 11in the present age, 13looking for the blessed hope and the 12appearing of the glory of 13 14our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14who 15gave Himself for us 16to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to 17purify for Himself a 18people for His own possession, 19eager for good deeds.

15These things speak and 20 21exhort, and 22rebuke with all authority. 23No one is to disregard you.
