Titus 2
1 Men du, tal, hvad der sømmer den sunde Lærdom:2 at de gamle Mænd skulle være aarvaagne, ærbare, sindige, sunde i Tro, i Kjærlighed, i Taalmodighed;3 desligeste, at de gamle Kvinder skulle holde sig i Klæder, som det sømmer de Hellige, ikke være Bagtalersker, ikke hengivne til megen Viin, men give god Lærdom;4 saa at de anføre de unge Kvinder til at elske deres Mænd og at elske deres Børn,5 at være sindige, kydske, huuslige, velvillige, deres Mænd underdanige; at Guds Ord skal ikke bespottes.6 Forman ligesaa de unge Mænd at være sindige,7 visende dig selv i alle Maader som et Mønster paa gode Gjerninger, i din Lære Reenhed, Værdighed,8 sund, ulastelig tale, saa at Modstanderen maa beskæmmes, naar han intet Ondt har at sige om Eder.9 Tjenerne forman at være deres Herrer underdanige, velbehagelige i alle Ting, og ikke sige imod,10 ikke besvige, men besvise al god Troskab, at de kunne pryde Guds vor Frelsers Lærdom i alle Ting11 Thi Guds saliggjørende Naade er aabenbaret for alle Mennesker,12 som oplærer os, at vi skulle forsage Ugudelighed og de verdslige Begjeringer og leve tugteligen og retfærdeligen og gudeligen i denne Verden;13 forventende det salige Haab og den store Guds og vor Frelsers Jesu Christi Herligheds Aabenbarelse,14 som gav sig selv for os, at han maatte forløse os fra al uretfærdighed og rense sig selv et Eiendomsfolk, nidkjært til gode Gjerninger.15 Tal dette og forman dertil, og irettesæt med al Myndighed; lad Ingen foragte dig!
Titus 2
Conduct Consistent with Sound Teaching
1 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes witht sound teaching.2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled,t sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.s3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.4 In this wayt they will traint the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,5 to be self-controlled,t pure, fulfilling their duties at home,t kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the messaget of God may not be discredited.t6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,t7 showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,8 and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss,t because he has nothing evil to say about us.9 Slavest are to be subject to their own masters in everything,t to do what is wanted and not talk back,
10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith,t in order to bring credit tot the teaching of God our Savior in everything.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.t12 It trains ust to reject godless wayst and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,13 as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearingt of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.t14 Het gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his,t who are eager to do good.t
15 So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuket that carries full authority.t Don’t let anyone look downt on you.
