Titus 2:2-12

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Titus 2:2-12

2Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
3Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.
4In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,
5to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.
6In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
7In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
8and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed to have nothing bad to say about us.
9Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
10not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.
11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
12It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
— Titus 2:2-12
