Titus 2

Duties of the Older and Younger

^{Tools
1} But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for ^(A)sound doctrine. ^{Tools
2} ^(B)Older men are to be ^(C)temperate, dignified, sensible, ^(D)sound ^(E)in faith, in love, in ^(a)perseverance.

^{Tools
3} Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, ^(F)not malicious gossips nor ^(G)enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, ^{Tools
4} so that they may ^(b)encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ^{Tools
5} to 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.

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

^{Tools
9} Urge ^(N)bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not ^(e)argumentative, ^{Tools
10} not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of ^(O)God our Savior in every respect.

^{Tools
11} For the grace of God has ^(P)appeared, ^(f)^(Q)bringing salvation to all men, ^{Tools
12} ^(g)instructing us to deny ungodliness and ^(R)worldly desires and ^(S)to live sensibly, righteously and godly ^(T)in the present age, ^{Tools
13} looking for the blessed hope and the ^(U)appearing of the glory of ^(h)^(V)our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, ^{Tools
14} who ^(W)gave Himself for us ^(X)to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to ^(Y)purify for Himself a ^(Z)people for His own possession, ^(AA)zealous for good deeds.

^{Tools
15} These things speak and ^(AB)exhort and ^(AC)reprove with all ⁽ⁱ⁾authority. ^(AD)Let no one disregard you.
