Titus - Chapter 2 - A Conservative Version
- But speak thou the things that are fitting for the sound doctrine.
- Aged men are to be without wine, noble, serious minded, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.
- Aged women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderous, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good,
- so that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
- to be serious-minded, pure, homemakers, good, submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
- Likewise exhort the younger men to be sober-minded.
- Concerning all things presenting thyself a pattern of good works in the doctrine: incorruption, dignity, incorruptibility,
- sound speech, irreproachable, so that the man of opposition may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
- Bondmen are to be obedient to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not speaking contrary,
- not pilfering, but demonstrating all good fidelity, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
- For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,
- disciplining us, so that, having denied irreverence and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and piously in the present age.
- Awaiting the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
- who gave himself for us, so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a special people, a zealot of good works.
- These things speak and exhort and rebuke with every command. Let no man disregard thee.
