Titus 2:9-3:2

^9 (A)Slaves^[a] are to be submissive to their own masters ^(B)in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, ¹⁰ not pilfering, ^(C)but showing all good faith, ^(D)so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour.

¹¹ For ^(E)the grace of God ^(F)has appeared, bringing salvation ^(G)for all people, ¹² training us to renounce ungodliness and ^(H)worldly passions, and ^(I)to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in ^(J)the present age, ^13 (K)waiting for our blessed ^(L)hope, the ^(M)appearing of the glory of our great ^(N)God and Saviour Jesus Christ, ^14 (O)who gave himself for us to ^(P)redeem us from all lawlessness and ^(Q)to purify for himself ^(R)a people for his own possession who are ^(S)zealous for good works.

¹⁵ Declare these things; exhort and ^(T)rebuke with all authority. ^(U)Let no one disregard you.
