Epistle
Titus 1.15-2.10
Read in context1:15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
1:16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
2:1But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2:2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
2:3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
2:4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
2:5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
2:6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
2:7In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
2:8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
2:9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
2:10Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
