Titus 2:2-10
English Standard Version
2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, (A)sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 (B)Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, (C)not slanderers (D)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, (E)pure, (F)working at home, kind, and (G)submissive to their own husbands, (H)that the word of God may not be reviled. 6 Likewise, urge (I)the younger men to be self-controlled. 7 Show yourself in all respects to be (J)a model of good works, and in your teaching (K)show integrity, (L)dignity, 8 and (M)sound speech that cannot be condemned, (N)so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. 9 (O)Bondservants[a] are to be submissive to their own masters (P)in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10 not pilfering, (Q)but showing all good faith, (R)so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
