Titus 2:1
But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.
Titus 2:2
Exhort aged men to be temperate, grave, sober-minded, robust in their faith, their love and their patience.
Titus 2:3
In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.
Titus 2:4
They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,
Titus 2:5
industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.
Titus 2:6
In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet,
Titus 2:7
and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, but a serious tone,
Titus 2:8
and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us.
Titus 2:9
Exhort slaves to be always obedient to their owners, and to give them satisfaction in everything, not contradicting and not pilfering,
Titus 2:10
but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things.
Titus 2:11
For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,
Titus 2:12
training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time,
Titus 2:13
in expectation of the fulfilment of our blessed hope–the Appearing in glory of our great God and saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus 2:14
who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.
Titus 2:15
Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. Let no one make light of your authority.
