Titus

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 wives 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 show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show 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 age;

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 one despise you.

1But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

2That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

3The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:

4That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

6Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.

7In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,

8The sound word that can not be blamed: that he, who is on the contrary part, may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.

9Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:

10Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things:

11For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men;

12Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world,

13Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,

14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.

15These things speak, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
