Titus 2
1Directions given to Titus both for his doctrine and life. 9The duty of servants. 11The gospel teacheth all men to renounce wickedness, and to lead sober, righteous, and godly, lives.
1 BUT aspeak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 bThat the aged men be 1sober, cgrave, temperate, sound in dfaith, in *charity, in patience.
3 eThe aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh 2holiness, not 3false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be 4sober, fto love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, gkeepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that hthe word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be i5sober minded.
7 jIn all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 kSound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort lservants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not 6answering again;
10 mNot purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may nadorn the doctrine of oGod our Saviour in all things.
