Titus 2
Instructions for the Older and Younger
But as for you, speak the things which are proper for asound doctrine. 2 aOlder men are to be btemperate, dignified, sensible, csound din faith, in love, in perseverance.
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, anot malicious gossips nor benslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, 4 so that they may instruct the young women in sensibility: to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be sensible, pure, aworkers at home, kind, being bsubject to their own husbands, cso that the word of God will not be slandered.
6 Likewise urge athe younger men to be sensible; 7 in all things show yourself to be aa model of good works, with purity in doctrine, dignified, 8 sound in word which is irreproachable, so athat the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
9 Urge aslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing, not contradicting, 10 not pilfering, but demonstrating all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of aGod our Savior in everything.
11 For the grace of God has aappeared, bbringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing us that, denying ungodliness and aworldly desires, we should blive sensibly, righteously, and godly cin the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and the aappearing of the glory of bour great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who agave Himself for us bthat He might redeem us from all lawlessness, and cpurify for Himself a dpeople for His own possession, ezealous for good works.
15 These things speak and aexhort and areprove with all authority. bLet no one disregard you.
