Tit 2:4

Tit 2:4so that they may encourage the young women to tenderly love their husbands and their children,

Tit 2:5

Tit 2:5to be sensible, pure, makers of a home [where God is honored], good-natured, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

Tit 2:6

In a similar way urge the young men to be sensible and self-controlled and to behave wisely [taking life seriously].

Tit 2:11

For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that [fn]brings salvation has appeared to all men.

Tit 2:12

Tit 2:12It teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives [with a purpose that reflects spiritual maturity] in this present age,

Tit 2:13

Tit 2:13awaiting and confidently expecting the [fulfillment of our] blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

Tit 2:14

Tit 2:14who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good.

Tit 2:15
