Titus 2

1 But you, speak the things that fit the healthy teaching. [a] 2 Old men are to be clear-headed, dignified, of sound sense, healthy in the faith, in love, in endurance. [b] 3 Old women likewise: in their bearing, as befits holy things; not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good, [d] 4 so that they may bring the young women to sound sense — to love their husbands, to love their children, [e] 5 to be of sound sense, pure, workers at home, good, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed. [f]

6 The younger men likewise urge to have sound sense, 7 in all things holding yourself out as a pattern of good works: in your teaching, incorruptness, dignity, [h] 8 healthy speech that cannot be condemned, so that the one on the opposing side may be put to shame, having nothing worthless to say about us. [i]

9 Slaves are to be subject to their own masters in all things, to be well pleasing, not talking back, [j] 10 not taking for themselves in secret, but showing all good faithfulness, so that in all things they may adorn the teaching of God our rescuer. [k]

11 For the favor of God has appeared, bringing rescue to all people, [l] 12 training us so that, having denied ungodliness and worldly desires, we may live with sound sense and righteously and devoutly in the present age, [m] 13 waiting for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our rescuer, Jesus Christ, [n] 14 who gave himself for us so that he might ransom us from all lawlessness and cleanse for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works. [o]

15 Speak these things, and urge, and convict with all authority to command. Let no one look down on you. [q]
