King James Version of the Bible

Book of Titus

Chapter 2

2:1

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

2:2

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

2:3

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

2:4

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

2:5

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

2:6

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

2:7

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

2:8

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.

2:9

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

2:10

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

2:11

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

2:12

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

2:13

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

2:14

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

2:15

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