Titus 2:1-6

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:
