Titus

Chapter 2

  1. 1

    But do thou speak what befits the sound doctrine:

  2. 2

    that elderly men be reserved, honorable, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

  3. 3

    that elderly women, in like manner, be marked by holiness of behavior, not slanderers, nor enslaved to much wine; teaching what is right,

  4. 4

    that they may train the younger woman to be wise, to love their husbands and their children,

  5. 5

    to be discreet, chaste, domestic, gentle, obedient to their husbands, so that the word of God be not reviled.

  6. 6

    Exhort the younger men, in like manner, to be self-controlled.

  7. 7

    Show thyself in all things an example of good works, in teaching, in integrity and dignity;

  8. 8

    let thy speech be sound and blameless, so that anyone opposing may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say of us.

  9. 9

    Exhort slaves to obey their masters, pleasing them in all things and not opposing them;

  10. 10

    not pilfering, but showing faithfulness in all things, so as to adorn in all things the teaching of God our Savior. Changed Life

  11. 11

    For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men,

  12. 12

    instructing us, in order that, rejecting ungodliness and worldly lusts, we may live temperately and justly and piously in this world;

  13. 13

    looking for the blessed hope and glorious coming of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

  14. 14

    who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and cleanse for himself an acceptable people, pursuing good works.

  15. 15

    Thus speak, and exhort, and rebuke, with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
