Titus 2:1-8 ▼

1 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with sound teaching.

2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.

3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.

4 In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 to be self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited.

6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,

7 showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,

8 and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss, because he has nothing evil to say about us.
