| Titus 2: (ASV) |
| 1) But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine: |
| 2) that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience: |
| 3) that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; |
| 4) that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, |
| 5) to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed: |
| 6) the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded: |
| 7) in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, |
| 8) sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us. |
| 9) Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing to them in all things; not gainsaying; |
| 10) not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. |
| 11) For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, |
| 12) instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; |
| 13) looking for the blessed hope and appearing 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 purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works. |
| 15) These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee. |
