Titus 2:1-10

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 But you, speak [the things] which are fitting for sound instruction.

2 Older men are to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, [and] in endurance.

3 Older women likewise [are to be] reverent in [their] behavior, not slanderous, not enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

4 in order that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands [and to] love their children,

5 [to be] self-controlled, pure, busy at home, good, being subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be slandered.

6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be self-controlled,

7 concerning everything showing yourself [to be] an example of good deeds, in your teaching [demonstrating] soundness, dignity,

8 [a] sound message beyond reproach, in order that {an opponent} may be put to shame, [because he] has nothing bad to say concerning us.

9 Slaves must be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not to talk back,

10 not stealing, but demonstrating all good faith, in order that they may do credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

New International Version NIV

1 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.

2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.

4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,

5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness

8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,

10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
