Titus 2

1But do thou speak the things that become sound teaching; 2that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience; 3that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right; 4that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children, 5discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of 1God may not be evil spoken of. 6The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet: 7in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, 8a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us: 9bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying; 10not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour 2God in all things. 11For the grace of 3God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared, 12teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, 13awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great 4God and Saviour Jesus Christ; 14who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works. 15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
