Titus 2
1 But you, speak what is in keeping with sound teaching.
2 Let older men be sober, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
3 Likewise, let older women behave in a way worthy of holy people: not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, but teachers of what is good,
4 so that they may teach the younger women to love their husbands and children,
5 to be sensible, pure, devoted to the home, good, submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be spoken against.
6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be sensible.
7 In everything, present yourself as a model of good works: in your teaching, show integrity and seriousness,
8 and speak sound words that cannot be condemned, so that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
9 Let slaves be submissive to their own masters in everything, seeking to please them and not talking back,
10 not stealing, but showing complete and genuine faithfulness, so that in every way they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior.
11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all people,
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
13 as we await the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
14 He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own, eager to do good works.
15 Speak these things, urge and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
