Titus 2:1-5
New English Translation

Conduct Consistent with Sound Teaching

2 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with[a] sound teaching. 2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled,[b] sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.[c] 3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good. 4 In this way[d] they will train[e] the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be self-controlled,[f] pure, fulfilling their duties at home,[g] kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message[h] of God may not be discredited.[i]
