Titus 2
¹Only speak what is fit for learning wholly, ²teaching old men in vigilance that they may be honest, sober-- incorrupt in faith, love, and incentive,

³in the same way the old women that they may be holy as to behaviour, not slanderers-- nor suffering any addiction to wine-- teachers of what is right,

⁴so as to show young ones to be affectionate toward their husbands and fond of their children, ⁵as good homemakers, having modesty, discretion, subjecting themselves privately to their own husbands, that no evil may be spoken of the word of God.

⁶In a similar way urge the younger men to be of sound mind, ⁷in every way setting an example yourself of all good works by pure and serious teaching, ⁸using true and guilt-free words, that no one on the other side may shame us, echoing evil words against us.

⁹Slaves are to be obedient to their masters, pleasing them fully in every way, not talking back, ¹⁰not stealing but, on the contrary, showing all good faith in all things which adorn the instruction of our Saviour, God-- ¹¹shining, as in thanks to God for the salvation of all men ¹²we teach and learn to turn off ungodliness and worldly desires, to live with a sound mind, righteously, in godliness, staying in the moment, ¹³as we admit the happy hope-- the manifestation of this praise of that mighty God and of the Saviour of us, Jesus-- the Chosen One.

¹⁴He gave himself for us and redeemed us out of all unrighteousness, even cleansing for himself a people distinguished by their zest for useful, beautiful acts.

¹⁵Thus speak and console or reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
