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.

King James Version
2 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

L’attività pastorale di colui che amministra il vangelo
2 (A)Ma tu esponi le cose che sono conformi alla sana dottrina: 2 i vecchi siano sobri, dignitosi, assennati, sani nella fede, nell’amore, nella pazienza; 3 anche le donne anziane abbiano un comportamento conforme a santità, non siano maldicenti né dedite a molto vino, siano maestre del bene, 4 per incoraggiare le giovani ad amare i mariti, ad amare i figli, 5 a essere sagge, caste, diligenti nei lavori domestici, buone, sottomesse ai loro mariti, perché la parola di Dio non sia disprezzata.
6 Esorta ugualmente i giovani a essere saggi, 7 presentando te stesso in ogni cosa come esempio di opere buone; mostrando nell’insegnamento integrità, dignità, [incorruttibilità,] 8 linguaggio sano, irreprensibile, perché l’avversario resti confuso, non avendo nulla di male da dire contro di noi[a].
9 Esorta i servi a essere sottomessi ai loro padroni, a compiacerli in ogni cosa, a non contraddirli, 10 a non derubarli, ma a mostrare sempre lealtà perfetta, per onorare in ogni cosa la dottrina di Dio, nostro Salvatore.
Manifestazione della grazia di Dio
11 (B)Infatti la grazia di Dio, salvifica per tutti gli uomini, si è manifestata, 12 e ci insegna a rinunciare all’empietà e alle passioni mondane, per vivere in questo mondo moderatamente, giustamente e in modo santo, 13 aspettando la beata speranza e l’apparizione della gloria del nostro grande Dio e Salvatore, Cristo Gesù. 14 Egli ha dato se stesso per noi per riscattarci da ogni iniquità[b] e purificarsi un popolo che gli appartenga, zelante nelle opere buone.
15 Parla di queste cose, esorta e riprendi con piena autorità. Nessuno ti disprezzi.
