Titus (The Epistle of Paul to )

But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.

Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

[to be] sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored.

Likewise urge the young men to be sensible;

in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, [with] purity in doctrine, dignified,

sound [in] speech which is beyond reproach, in order that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

[Urge] bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,

looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus;

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
