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.

Titus 2
2
1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine, 2that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance, 3and that older women likewise be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good, 4that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children, 5to 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. 7In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility, 8and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
9Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting, 10not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Saviour, in all things. 11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; 13looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Yeshua the Messiah, 14who 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.
