Titus 2
1599 Geneva Bible
2 2 He setteth out the duties of sundry persons and states, 6 and willeth him to instruct the Church in manners. 11 He draweth an argument from the end of our redemption, 12 which is, that we live godly and uprightly.
1 But [a]speak thou the things which become wholesome doctrine,
2 [b]That the elder men be watchful, grave, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, and in patience:
3 The elder women likewise, that they be in such behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not subject to much wine, but teachers of honest things.
4 That they may instruct the young women to be sober minded, that they love their husbands, that they love their children,
5 That they be temperate, chaste, [c]keeping at home, good and (A)subject unto their husbands, that the word of God be not evil spoken of.
6 Exhort young men likewise, that they be sober minded.
7 [d]In all things show thyself an example of good works with uncorrupt doctrine, with [e]gravity, integrity,
8 And with the wholesome word, which cannot be condemned, that he which withstandeth, may be ashamed, having nothing concerning you to speak evil of.
9 (B)[f]Let servants be subject to their masters, and please them in all [g]things, not answering again,
10 Neither pickers, but that they show all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11 (C)[h]For that grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared,
12 And teacheth us, that we should deny ungodliness and [i]worldly lusts, and that we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in this present world,
13 [j]Looking for that blessed hope, and appearing of that glory of that mighty God, and of our Savior Jesus Christ.
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purge us to be a [k]peculiar people unto himself, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and convince with all [l]authority. See that no man despise thee.

提多书 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
要传讲纯正的道理
2 至于你，你应当讲合乎纯正的道理。 2 劝年老的男人要有节制、庄重、自律，在信心、爱心、忍耐上都要健全。 3 照样，劝年老的妇女行为要敬虔，不说谗言，不被酒奴役，用善道教导人， 4 好提醒年轻的妇女爱丈夫爱儿女， 5 并且自律、贞洁、理家、善良、顺从自己的丈夫，免得 神的道受毁谤。 6 照样，劝年轻的男子要自律。 7 无论在甚么事上你都要显出好行为的榜样，在教导上要纯全，要庄重， 8 言词要纯正，无可指摘，使反对的人因为无从毁谤，就自觉惭愧。 9 作奴仆的，要凡事顺服自己的主人，讨他欢喜，不要顶嘴。 10 不要私取财物，却要显示绝对的诚实，好使我们救主 神的道理，在凡事上都得着尊荣。
11 神拯救万人的恩典已经显明出来了。 12 这恩典训练我们除去不敬虔的心，和属世的私欲，在今生过着自律、公正、敬虔的生活， 13 等候那有福的盼望，就是我们伟大的 神，救主耶稣基督荣耀的显现。 14 他为我们舍己，为的是要救赎我们脱离一切不法的事，并且洁净我们作他自己的子民，热心善工。 15 你要传讲这些事，运用各样的权柄去劝戒人，责备人；不要让人轻看你。
