TITUS CHAPTER II.

[1 Directions given unto Titus both for his doctrine and life. 9 Of the duty of servants;]

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 be likewise, that they be in behaviour 
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 sober-minded. 
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good 
works: in doctrine shewing 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 shewing 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, and purify unto himself 
a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke
with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
