Titus 2

Read the chapter

¹But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: ✦ ²That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. ✦ ³The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; ✦ ⁴That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, ✦ ⁵To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. ✦ ⁶Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. ✦ ⁷In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, ✦ ⁸Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. ✦ ⁹Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; ✦ ¹⁰Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. ✦ ¹¹For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, ✦ ¹²Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; ✦ ¹³Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; ✦ ¹⁴Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ✦ ¹⁵These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. ✦
