Titus 2:2-10

2Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, asound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 bOlder women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, cnot slanderers dor slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5to be self-controlled, epure, fworking at home, kind, and gsubmissive to their own husbands, hthat the word of God may not be reviled. 6Likewise, urge ithe younger men to be self-controlled. 7Show yourself in all respects to be ja model of good works, and in your teaching kshow integrity, ldignity, 8and msound speech that cannot be condemned, nso that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. 9 oBondservants ▼
▼Or Slaves (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
 are to be submissive to their own masters qin everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10not pilfering, rbut showing all good faith, sso that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
