Titus 2:1-8 ▼

1 As for yourself, you must say what is consistent with sound doctrine, namely,

2 that older men should be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, love, and endurance.

3 Similarly, older women should be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to drink, teaching what is good,

4 so that they may train younger women to love their husbands and children,

5 to be self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers, under the control of their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.

6 Urge the younger men, similarly, to control themselves,

7 showing yourself as a model of good deeds in every respect, with integrity in your teaching, dignity,

8 and sound speech that cannot be criticized, so that the opponent will be put to shame without anything bad to say about us.
