(KJV) Titus 21

<< Titus 1 Titus 3 >>

Teaching Sound Doctrine

[1] But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:2 [2] That the3 aged men be sober4, grave5, temperate6, sound7 in faith, in charity, in patience8. [3] The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as9 becometh holiness10, not false accusers11, not given12 to much wine, teachers13 of good things; [4] That the14y may teach the young women to be sober15, to love their husbands16, to love their children, [5] [To be] discreet17, chaste, keepers18 at home, good19, obedient20 to their own husbands, that21 the word of God be not blasphemed. [6] Young22 men likewise exhort to be sober minded23. [7] In all24 things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness25, gravity26, sincerity27, [8] Sound28 speech, that cannot be condemned; that he29 that is of the contrary part may30 be ashamed, having31 no evil thing to say of you. [9] [Exhort] servants32 to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please33 [them] well in all [things]; not answering again34; [10] Not purloining35, but shewing36 all good fidelity; that they may adorn37 the doctrine38 of God39 our Saviour in all things.

God’s Grace Brings Salvation

[11] For the grace40 of God that bringeth41 salvation hath appeared42 to all men, [12] Teaching43 us that, denying44 ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live45 soberly46, righteously, and godly47, in this48 present world; [13] Looking49 for that blessed50 hope, and the glorious51 appearing of the great God and our52 Saviour Jesus Christ; [14] Who gave53 himself for us, that54 he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify55 unto56 himself a peculiar57 people, zealous58 of good works. [15] These things speak59, and exhort, and rebuke with60 all authority. Let61 no man despise thee.
