Titus 2
2
1But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
2That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
4That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
7In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
8The sound word that can not be blamed: that he, who is on the contrary part, may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.
9Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
10Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things:
11For the grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all men;
12Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world,
13Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ,
14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.
15These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man 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.
