The Epistle of Paul to |
| Titus | | 2 |
The Teaching of Sound Doctrine |
| 1 |
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
|
| 2 |
that the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
|
| 3 |
The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
|
| 4 |
that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
|
| 5 |
to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
|
| 6 |
Young men likewise exhort to be soberminded.
|
| 7 |
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
|
| 8 |
sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
|
| 9 |
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
|
| 10 |
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
|
| 11 |
¶ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
|
| 12 |
teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
|
| 13 |
looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
|
| 14 |
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, Ps. 130.8 and purify unto himself a peculiar people, Ex. 19.5 · Deut. 4.20 ; 7.6 ; 14.2 ; 26.18 · 1 Pet. 2.9 zealous of good works.
|
| 15 |
¶ These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
