Titus 2:2-10

2Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.

3Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.

4In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5to be self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited.

6Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,

7showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,

8and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss, because he has nothing evil to say about us.

9Slaves are to be subject to their own masters in everything, to do what is wanted and not talk back,

10not pilfering, but showing all good faith, in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything.
