Titus 2

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.

11 For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,

12 teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,

13 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.

15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.

New Century Version NCV

1 But you must tell everyone what to do to follow the true teaching.

2 Teach older men to be self-controlled, serious, wise, strong in faith, in love, and in patience.

3 In the same way, teach older women to be holy in their behavior, not speaking against others or enslaved to too much wine, but teaching what is good.

4 Then they can teach the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 to be wise and pure, to be good workers at home, to be kind, and to yield to their husbands. Then no one will be able to criticize the teaching God gave us.

6 In the same way, encourage young men to be wise.

7 In every way be an example of doing good deeds. When you teach, do it with honesty and seriousness.

8 Speak the truth so that you cannot be criticized. Then those who are against you will be ashamed because there is nothing bad to say about us.

9 Slaves should yield to their own masters at all times, trying to please them and not arguing with them.

10 They should not steal from them but should show their masters they can be fully trusted so that in everything they do they will make the teaching of God our Savior attractive.

11 That is the way we should live, because God's grace that can save everyone has come.

12 It teaches us not to live against God nor to do the evil things the world wants to do. Instead, that grace teaches us to live now in a wise and right way and in a way that shows we serve God.

13 We should live like that while we wait for our great hope and the coming of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

14 He gave himself for us so he might pay the price to free us from all evil and to make us pure people who belong only to him -- people who are always wanting to do good deeds.

15 Say these things and encourage the people and tell them what is wrong in their lives, with all authority. Do not let anyone treat you as if you were unimportant.
