Titus - Chapter 2 | American Standard Version

  • 1. But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
  • 2. that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
  • 3. that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
  • 4. that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
  • 5. {cf15i to be} sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
  • 6. the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
  • 7. in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine {cf15i showing} uncorruptness, gravity,
  • 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 us.
  • 9. {cf15i Exhort} servants to be in subjection to their own masters, {cf15i and} to be well-pleasing {cf15i to them} in all things; not gainsaying;
  • 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 hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
  • 12. instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;
  • 13. looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory 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 people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
  • 15. These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
