Titus 2

Revised Geneva Translation

2 But you, speak things befitting to sound doctrine -

² so that the older men are sober, honorable, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, and in patience;

³ the elder women likewise - so that they are in such behavior as becomes holiness (not false accusers, not subject to much wine, teachers of virtue);

⁴ so that they may instruct the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, love their children,

⁵ to be temperate, chaste, homemakers, good, subject to their own husbands (so that the word of God is not blasphemed).

⁶ Exhort young men likewise, so that they are sober-minded.

⁷ In all things, show yourself to be an example of good works - with uncorrupted doctrine, gravity, integrity,

⁸ and sound speech that cannot be condemned - so that whoever opposes you may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

⁹ Let servants be subject to their masters, and please them in all things - not questioning

¹⁰ or pilfering, but showing all good faithfulness, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

¹¹ For the grace of God which brings salvation to all mankind has appeared,

¹² and teaches us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts; and that we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world,

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the mighty God, and of our Savior, Jesus Christ;

¹⁴ Who gave Himself for us so that He might redeem us from all iniquity and cleanse us to be a peculiar people for Himself, zealous for good works.

¹⁵ Speak these things. And encourage and convict with all authority. See that no one despises you.
