NKJV · New King James Version
Titus
Chapter 2
- 1
But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine:
- 2
that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
- 3
the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—
- 4
that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
- 5
to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
- 6
Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded,
- 7
in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
- 8
sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
- 9
Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,
- 10
not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
- 11
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
- 12
teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
- 13
looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
- 14
who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
- 15
Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
