Titus 2

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 But say the things which fit the sound doctrine,

2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:

3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed.

6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober-minded;

7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

8 and soundness of speech that can't be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;

10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior, Yeshua the Messiah;

14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Your job is to speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine.

2 Guide older men into lives of temperance, dignity, and wisdom, into healthy faith, love, and endurance.

3 Guide older women into lives of reverence so they end up as neither gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness.

4 By looking at them, the younger women will know how to love their husbands and children,

5 be virtuous and pure, keep a good house, be good wives. We don't want anyone looking down on God's Message because of their behavior.

6 Also, guide the young men to live disciplined lives.

7 But mostly, show them all this by doing it yourself, incorruptible in your teaching,

8 your words solid and sane. Then anyone who is dead set against us, when he finds nothing weird or misguided, might eventually come around.

9 Guide slaves into being loyal workers, a bonus to their masters - no back talk,

10 no petty thievery. Then their good character will shine through their actions, adding luster to the teaching of our Savior God.

11 God's readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation's available for everyone!

12 We're being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now,

13 and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears.

14 He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness.

15 Tell them all this. Build up their courage, and discipline them if they get out of line. You're in charge. Don't let anyone put you down.
