Titus 2, side by side

¹But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.

¹But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

²Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.

²That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

³Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.

³The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

⁴In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,

⁴That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁵to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.

⁵To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

⁶In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.

⁶Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

⁷In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,

⁷In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

⁸and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

⁸Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

⁹Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

⁹Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

¹⁰not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.

¹⁰Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

¹¹For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.

¹¹For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

¹²It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

¹²Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

¹³as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

¹³Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹⁴He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

¹⁴Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

¹⁵Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

¹⁵These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
