Paul to Titus...& us

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:
in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity.
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned;
that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
 and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Titus 2:1,2,6-8,11-14
