Titus 2:1-10 ▼

1 But you, speak the things that are fitting for sound teaching.

2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, sound-minded, being sound in faith, in love, in endurance;

3 older women likewise reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not being enslaved to much wine, teachers of good,

4 so that they may make sober-minded the young women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

5 sound-minded, pure, keepers at home, good, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sound-minded.

7 Concerning all things, be holding forth yourself as a pattern of good works, in the teaching, incorruptibility, dignity,

8 sound speech, uncondemnable, so that the one of the contrary should be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us.

9 Slaves are to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not contradicting,

10 not pilfering, but demonstrating all good faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things.
