Titus 2:2-8

New American Standard Bible

^2 (A)Older men are to be ^[a](B)temperate, dignified, self-controlled, ^(C)sound ^(D)in faith, in love, in ^[b]perseverance.

³ Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, ^(E)not malicious gossips nor ^(F)enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, ⁴ so that they may ^[c]encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ to be sensible, pure, ^(G)workers at home, kind, being ^(H)subject to their own husbands, ^(I)so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

⁶ Likewise urge ^(J)the young men to be ^[d]sensible; ⁷ in all things show yourself to be ^(K)an example of good deeds, with ^[e]purity in doctrine, dignified, ⁸ sound in speech which is beyond reproach, ^(L)so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
