Titus 2:2-5
New English Translation
2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled,[a] sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.[b] 3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good. 4 In this way[c] they will train[d] the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be self-controlled,[e] pure, fulfilling their duties at home,[f] kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message[g] of God may not be discredited.[h]
