Titus 2

1But you, speak the things that fit sound teaching.

2Older men should be sober, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and endurance.

3Older women likewise should be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things.

4that they may train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children

5Self-controlled, pure, homemakers, good, submissive to their own husbands, so that God's word may not be reviled.

6Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled.

7In all things present yourself as an example of good works, with integrity and gravity in your teaching.

8sound speech beyond reproach, so that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.

9Bondservants are to submit to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting.

10not embezzling, but demonstrating all good fidelity, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

11For the saving grace of God has appeared to all people.

12training us to renounce godlessness and worldly desires, so that we live sensibly, righteously, and devoutly in this present age.

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

14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a special people, zealous for good works.

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