Titus 2 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised（CSBA）

Sound Teaching and Christian Living

1But you are to proclaim things consistent with sound teaching. 

2Older men  are to be self-controlled, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love,  and endurance.

3In the same way, older women  are to be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers, not slaves to excessive drinking. They are to teach what is good,

4so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children,

5to be self-controlled, pure, workers at home, kind, and in submission  to their husbands, so that God’s word  will not be slandered.

6In the same way, encourage the young men  to be self-controlled

7in everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignity  in your teaching.

8Your message is to be sound beyond reproach,  so that any opponent will be ashamed, because he doesn’t have anything bad to say about us.

9Slaves are to submit to their masters  in everything, and to be well-pleasing,  not talking back

10or stealing, but demonstrating utter faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Saviour  in everything.

11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation  for all people, 

12instructing us to deny godlessness  and worldly lusts  and to live in a sensible, righteous,  and godly  way in the present age,

13while we wait for the blessed hope,  the appearing of the glory  of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

14He gave himself for us  to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people for his own possession,  eager to do good works.

15Proclaim these things; encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard  you.
