Titus 1:15-2:5
New King James Version
15 (A)To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to (B)know God, but (C)in works they deny Him, being [a]abominable, disobedient, (D)and disqualified for every good work.
Qualities of a Sound Church
2 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: 2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; 3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, (E)homemakers, good, (F)obedient to their own husbands, (G)that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

Titus 1:15-2:5
New International Version
15 To the pure, all things are pure,(A) but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.(B) In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.(C) 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.(D) They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.(E)
Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel
2 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.(F) 2 Teach the older men(G) to be temperate,(H) worthy of respect, self-controlled,(I) and sound in faith,(J) in love and in endurance.
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers(K) or addicted to much wine,(L) but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women(M) to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled(N) and pure, to be busy at home,(O) to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands,(P) so that no one will malign the word of God.(Q)
