Titus 2:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 But you should talk in a way that is consistent with sound teaching.

2 Tell the older men to be sober, dignified, sensible, and healthy in respect to their faith, love, and patience.

3 Likewise, tell the older women to be reverent in their behavior, teaching what is good, rather than being gossips or addicted to heavy drinking.

4 That way they can mentor young women to love their husbands and children,

5 and to be sensible, morally pure, working at home, kind and submissive to their own husbands, so that God's word won't be ridiculed.

6 Likewise, encourage the younger men to be sensible

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.
