Titus 1:15-2:10 (Epistle)
- 15
- To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.
- 16
- They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.
- 1
- But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine:
- 2
- that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
- 3
- the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things –
- 4
- that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
- 5
- to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
- 6
- Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded,
- 7
- in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
- 8
- sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
- 9
- Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,
- 10
- not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
