Titus 2 (WEBP)

[1] But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
[2] that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,
[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 wives 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 show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show 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 age;
[13] looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
[14] who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
[15] Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

Young’s Literal Translation

Titus 2 (YLT)

[1] And thou-be speaking what doth become the sound teaching;
[2] aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;
[3] aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved, of good things teachers,
[4] that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,
[5] sober, pure, keepers of their own houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
[6] The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be sober-minded;
[7] concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility,
[8] discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.
[9] Servants-to their own masters are to be subject, in all things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying,
[10] not purloining, but showing all good stedfastness, that the teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things.
[11] For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men,
[12] teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,
[13] waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,
[14] who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;
[15] these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!
