Titus 2

Read the chapter

¹But say the things which fit sound doctrine, ✦ ²that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance: ✦ ³and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; ✦ ⁴that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ✦ ⁵to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed. ✦ ⁶Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded; ✦ ⁷in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility, ✦ ⁸and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us. ✦ ⁹Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting; ✦ ¹⁰not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things. ✦ ¹¹For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, ✦ ¹²instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world; ✦ ¹³looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ; ✦ ¹⁴who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works. ✦ ¹⁵Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you. ✦
