Titus 2
1¶ But speak thou the things which are expedient unto sound doctrine,
2that the aged men be temperate, venerable, prudent, sound in faith, in charity, in tolerance.
3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of honesty;
4that they may teach the young women to be prudent, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be temperate, chaste, good housekeepers, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God not be blasphemed.
6Young men likewise exhort to be temperate;
7in all things showing thyself as an example of good works, in doctrine showing integrity, seriousness, purity,
8sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that the adversary may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort slaves to be subject to their own masters and to please them well in all things; not contradicting;
10not defrauding, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11¶ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
12teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live temperately, righteously, and godly in this present world;
13waiting for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,
14who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a people of his own, zealous of good works.
15¶ These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.

Sound Teaching and Christian Living
1But you must say the things that are consistent with sound teaching. # Ti 1:9 2Older men # 1Tm 5:1 are to be level headed, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love, # 1Co 13:1; 1Jn 4:16 and endurance. 3In the same way, older women # 1Tm 5:2 are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4so they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children, 5to be self-controlled, pure, homemakers, kind, and submissive # Lk 10:17; Eph 5:22 to their husbands, so that God’s message # Lk 8:21; 2Tm 2:15; Heb 4:12 will not be slandered.
6In the same way, encourage the young men # 1Tm 5:1; 1Pt 5:5; 1Jn 2:13-14 to be self-controlled 7in everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignity # Other mss add incorruptibility in your teaching. 8Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, # 1Tm 2:2 so that the opponent will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
9Slaves are to be submissive to their masters # Eph 6:5-9; Col 3:22; 1Tm 6:1; 1Pt 2:18; Jd 4 in everything, and to be well-pleasing, # Heb 13:21 not talking back 10or stealing, but demonstrating utter faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior # 1Tm 1:1; 2:3; Ti 1:3; 3:4; Jd 25 in everything.
11For the grace of God has appeared with salvation # Or appeared, bringing salvation ; or appeared with saving power for all people, # Ac 1:8; Rm 10:14; 2Co 5:18-21; 1Tm 2:4; 4:10; 2Pt 3:9 12instructing us to deny godlessness # Jd 18 and worldly lusts # 2Tm 4:10; 2Pt 1:4; 2:10 and to live in a sensible, righteous, # Lk 23:41; 1Co 15:34; 1Th 2:10; 1Pt 2:24 and godly # 2Tm 3:12 way in the present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope # Ac 23:6; 1Th 1:3 and appearing of the glory # Lk 9:32; Jn 17:1,24; 2Co 3:18; 2Pt 3:18 of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. 14He gave Himself for us # Mt 20:28; Mk 10:45; Rm 8:32; Gl 1:4; 2:20; Eph 5:2,25; 1Tm 2:6 to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for Himself a people for His own possession, # Ex 19:5; Lk 1:68 eager to do good works.
15Say these things, and encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard # Or despise you.
