Tito 2
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
O verdadeiro ensino
2 Quanto a você, fale o que está de acordo com o verdadeiro ensino. 2 Ensine os homens idosos a serem moderados, respeitáveis e prudentes; ensine-os também a serem firmes na fé, no amor e na perseverança. 3 Da mesma maneira, ensine as mulheres idosas a viverem uma vida digna de pessoas santas. Que elas não passem o tempo falando mal dos outros nem sendo escravas de muito vinho. Elas devem ensinar o bem, 4 a fim de instruir as mulheres mais jovens a amarem a seus maridos e a seus filhos. 5 Elas também devem ensiná-las a serem prudentes, puras, boas donas de casa, bondosas e submissas a seus próprios maridos. Dessa forma, ninguém poderá falar mal da mensagem de Deus. 6 Da mesma maneira, encoraje os jovens para que eles sejam prudentes em tudo. 7 Torne-se você mesmo um exemplo de boas obras. Ao ensinar, você deve mostrar integridade e seriedade, 8 fazendo uso de uma linguagem construtiva e que não possa ser criticada. Assim, aqueles que estão contra você ficarão envergonhados por não terem nada de mau a dizer a nosso respeito.
9 Ensine os escravos a serem sempre e em tudo obedientes aos seus senhores. Eles devem tentar agradar aos seus senhores sem discutir com eles 10 e também não devem roubá-los. Pelo contrário! Eles devem mostrar que são dignos de toda a confiança para que, em todas as coisas, façam com que o ensino que procede de Deus, nosso Salvador, seja atraente.
11 Pois, a graça de Deus que traz a salvação foi revelada a todas as pessoas. 12 E esta graça nos ensina que devemos renunciar a todas as coisas que desagradam a Deus e aos desejos do mundo, e que devemos viver neste mundo de maneira prudente, justa e com devoção a Deus. 13 Devemos viver assim enquanto esperamos por aquele dia feliz, quando a glória do nosso grande Deus e Salvador Jesus Cristo for revelada. 14 Foi ele quem morreu por nós, a fim de nos livrar de toda maldade e de purificar um povo que pertença somente a ele e que se dedique a fazer o bem.
15 Transmita estas coisas às pessoas e, com toda a autoridade, repreenda e anime a todos. Não deixe que ninguém o despreze.
Titus 2
New King James Version
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, (A)homemakers, good, (B)obedient to their own husbands, (C)that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, 7 in all things showing yourself to be (D)a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, (E)incorruptibility,[a] 8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of [b]you.
9 Exhort (F)bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, 10 not [c]pilfering, but showing all good [d]fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
Trained by Saving Grace
11 For (G)the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 (H)looking for the blessed (I)hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 (J)who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed (K)and purify for Himself (L)His own special people, zealous for good works.
15 Speak these things, (M)exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

Teach Sound Doctrine
2 But as for you, teach what accords with (A)sound[a] doctrine. 2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, (B)sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 (C)Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, (D)not slanderers (E)or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, (F)pure, (G)working at home, kind, and (H)submissive to their own husbands, (I)that the word of God may not be reviled. 6 Likewise, urge (J)the younger men to be self-controlled. 7 Show yourself in all respects to be (K)a model of good works, and in your teaching (L)show integrity, (M)dignity, 8 and (N)sound speech that cannot be condemned, (O)so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. 9 (P)Bondservants[b] are to be submissive to their own masters (Q)in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10 not pilfering, (R)but showing all good faith, (S)so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
11 For (T)the grace of God (U)has appeared, bringing salvation (V)for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and (W)worldly passions, and (X)to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in (Y)the present age, 13 (Z)waiting for our blessed (AA)hope, the (AB)appearing of the glory of our great (AC)God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 (AD)who gave himself for us to (AE)redeem us from all lawlessness and (AF)to purify for himself (AG)a people for his own possession who are (AH)zealous for good works.
15 Declare these things; exhort and (AI)rebuke with all authority. (AJ)Let no one disregard you.
