“1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the
aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in
patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as
becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers
of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to
love their husbands, to love their children, 5 [To be] discreet, chaste,
keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of
God be not blasphemed. 6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 7
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing]
uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8 Sound speech, that cannot be
condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having
no evil thing to say of you. 9 [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto
their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not
answering again; 10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that
they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.”
“11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all
men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he
might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar
people, zealous of good works. 15 These things speak, and exhort, and
rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” (Titus 2:1-15 AV)
