Titus 2:2–8

2 Older menag are to be self-controlled, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love,ah and endurance. 3 In the same way, older womenai are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not slaves to excessive drinking. They are to teach what is good, 4 so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, workers at home, kind, and in submissionaj to their husbands, so that God’s wordak will not be slandered.

6 In the same way, encourage the young menal to be self-controlled 7 in everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignityA in your teaching. 8 Your message is to be sound beyond reproach,am so that any opponent will be ashamed, because he doesn’t have anything bad to say about us.
