Titus 2 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Instructions for the Older and Younger

Tit 2:1

But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine.

Tit 2:2Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in [fn]perseverance.
Tit 2:3

Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

Tit 2:4so that they may instruct the young women in sensibility: to love their husbands, to love their children,
Tit 2:5to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be slandered.
Tit 2:6

Likewise urge the younger men to be [fn]sensible;

Tit 2:7in all things show yourself to be a model of good works, with [fn]purity in doctrine, dignified,
Tit 2:8sound in word which is irreproachable, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
Tit 2:9

Urge slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing, not contradicting,

Tit 2:10not pilfering, but demonstrating all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in everything.
Tit 2:11

For the grace of God has appeared, [fn]bringing salvation to all men,

Tit 2:12[fn]instructing us that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
Tit 2:13looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of [fn]our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Tit 2:14who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.
Tit 2:15

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all [fn]authority. Let no one disregard you.
