Titus 2:7-15
2:7 showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
2:8 and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss,
because he has nothing evil to say about us.
2:9 Slaves
are to be subject to their own masters in everything,
to do what is wanted and not talk back,
2:10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith,
in order to bring credit to
the teaching of God our Savior in everything.
2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.
2:12 It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
2:13 as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
2:14 He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.
2:15 So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuke that carries full authority. Don’t let anyone look down on you.
