Titus 2
Old men should be characterized by sobriety, chastity, and sound faith, while old women should be modest, temperate, and teach younger women to love their families and be submissive to their husbands. Young men are exhorted to show self-restraint, and leaders are to set an example of good works and sound doctrine. Servants are to be submissive to their masters and show good fidelity. The grace of God instructs believers to live soberly and justly, looking forward to the return of Jesus Christ, who gave himself to redeem and cleanse his people.
1But you are to speak the things that befit sound doctrine2Old men should be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience3Old women, similarly, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well4so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, love their children5be sensible, chaste, restrained, have concern for the household, be kind, be subordinate to their husbands: so that the Word of God may be not blasphemed6Exhort young men similarly, so that they may show self-restraint7In all things, present yourself as an example of good works: in doctrine, with integrity, with seriousness8with sound words, irreproachably, so that he who is an opponent may dread that he has nothing evil to say about us9Exhort servants to be submissive to their masters, in all things pleasing, not contradicting10not cheating, but in all things showing good fidelity, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things11For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men12instructing us to reject impiety and worldly desires, so that we may live soberly and justly and piously in this age13looking forward to the blessed hope and the advent of the glory of the great God and of our Savior Jesus Christ14He gave himself for our sake, so that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse for himself an acceptable people, pursuers of good works15Speak and exhort and argue these things with all authority.
