Modern Literal Version
[Titus 2]
2:1 But as for you speak the things which are suitable to the sound teaching. 2:2 Teach that elderly-men be temperate, honorable, sensible, sound in faith, in love*, in endurance.
2:3 Likewise*, teach that elderly ladies, be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, but teachers of what is good, 2:4 that* they may train the young women to be lovers oftheir husbands, to love their children, 2:5 and to be sensible, pure, homemakers, and kind, being subject to their own husbands, that* the word of God may not be blasphemed. 2:6 Likewise*encourage the younger-men to be sensible, 2:7 providing yourself as an example of good works concerning all things; in the teaching have integrity, honesty, incorruption, 2:8 sound speech that cannot be condemned; that* he might be embarrassed who is from the adverse side, having no evil thing to say concerning us.
2:9 Encourage a bondservant to be subject to their own masters and to be well pleasing to themin all things, not contradicting them; 2:10 not pilfering things, but showing all good faithfulness; that* they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things. 2:11 For* the grace of God has appeared, which is salvation to all men, 2:12 educating us that*, (having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts), we should live with self-discipline and righteously and devoutly in this current world; 2:13 waiting for the gracious hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; 2:14 who gave himself on our behalf, that* he might redeem us from all lawlessness and might purify a treasured people for himself, zealous of good works. 2:15 Speak and encourage and reprove these things with every commandment. Let no one despise you.
