Titus, 2
How he is to instruct both old and young. The duty of servants. The Christian's rule of life.
[1] But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine: •
[2] That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience. •
[3] The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well: •
[4] That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children. •
[5] To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed. •
[6] Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
[7] In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity, •
[8] The sound word that can not be blamed: that he who is on the contrary part may be afraid, having no evil to say of us. •
[9] Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters: in all things pleasing, not gainsaying: •
[10] Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. •
[11] For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men: •
[12] Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world, •
[13] Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. •
[14] Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works. •
[15] These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
