Titus 2

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