Titus 2

Read the chapter

¹But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: ✦ ²that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; ✦ ³the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— ✦ ⁴that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ✦ ⁵to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. ✦ ⁶Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, ✦ ⁷in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, ✦ ⁸sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you. ✦ ⁹Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, ✦ ¹⁰not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. ✦ ¹¹For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, ✦ ¹²teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, ✦ ¹³looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, ✦ ¹⁴who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. ✦ ¹⁵Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you. ✦
