Titus Chapter 2
|
||
1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
|
||
2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,
|
||
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,
|
||
4 that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,
|
||
5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.
|
||
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.
|
||
7 In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
|
||
8 and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
|
||
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
|
||
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
|
||
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
|
||
12 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;
|
||
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
|
||
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
|
||
15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you. |
