Titus 2:1-10

The Darby Translation DBY

1 But do *thou* speak the things that become sound teaching;

2 that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

3 that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;

4 that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,

5 discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

6 The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:

7 in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,

8 a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:

9 bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;

10 not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.

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.
