Titus 2:1-8 — Legacy Standard Bible

Instructions for the Older and Younger

2But as for you, speak the things which are proper for ^asound doctrine. ²^aOlder men are to be ^btemperate, dignified, sensible, ^csound ^din faith, in love, in ¹perseverance.

³Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, ^anot malicious gossips nor ^benslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, ⁴so that they may instruct the young women in sensibility: to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵to be sensible, pure, ^aworkers at home, kind, being ^bsubject to their own husbands, ^cso that the word of God will not be slandered.

⁶Likewise urge ^athe younger men to be ¹sensible; ⁷in all things show yourself to be ^aa model of good works, with ¹purity in doctrine, dignified, ⁸sound in word which is irreproachable, so ^athat the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
