Titus 2:1-10

New American Standard Bible

Proclaim Sound Doctrine

2 But as for you, proclaim the things which are fitting for ^(A)sound doctrine. ²^(B)Older men are to be ^[a]^(C)temperate, dignified, self-controlled, ^(D)sound ^(E)in faith, in love, in ^[b]perseverance.

³Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, ^(F)not malicious gossips nor ^(G)enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, ⁴so that they may ^[c]encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵to be sensible, pure, ^(H)workers at home, kind, being ^(I)subject to their own husbands, ^(J)so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

⁶Likewise urge ^(K)the young men to be ^[d]sensible; ⁷in all things show yourself to be ^(L)an example of good deeds, with ^[e]purity in doctrine, dignified, ⁸sound in speech which is beyond reproach, ^(M)so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

⁹Urge ^[f]^(N)slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing, not ^[g]argumentative, ¹⁰not stealing, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of ^(O)God our Savior in every respect.
