Titus 2

¹But you, speak the things that are fitting for sound teaching.

²Older [men] are to be sober-minded, dignified, sound-minded, being sound in faith, in love, in endurance;

³older [women] likewise reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not being enslaved to much wine, teachers of good,

⁴so that they may make sober-minded the young [women] to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,

⁵sound-minded, pure, keepers at home, good, being subject to [their] own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

⁶Likewise, exhort the younger [men] to be sound-minded.

⁷Concerning all things, be holding forth yourself [as] a pattern of good works, in the teaching, incorruptibility, dignity,

⁸sound speech, uncondemnable, so that the one of the contrary should be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us.

⁹Slaves are to be subject to [their] own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not contradicting,

¹⁰not pilfering, but demonstrating all good faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things.

¹¹For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹²instructing us that having denied ungodliness and worldly passions, we should live sound-mindedly and righteously and godlily in the present age,

¹³awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

¹⁴who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and might purify to Himself a people specially His, zealous for good works.

¹⁵Speak these things and exhort and convict with all authority. Let no one despise you.
