Titus 2:1-10

Revised Standard Version

Teach Sound Doctrine

2 But as for you, teach what befits sound doctrine. ² Bid the older men be temperate, serious, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. ³ Bid the older women likewise to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or slaves to drink; they are to teach what is good, ⁴ and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, ⁵ to be sensible, chaste, domestic, kind, and submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be discredited. ⁶ Likewise urge the younger men to control themselves. ⁷ Show yourself in all respects a model of good deeds, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity, ⁸ and sound speech that cannot be censured, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us. ⁹ Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to be refractory, ¹⁰ nor to pilfer, but to show entire and true fidelity, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
