Ukufunda

The Letter of Saint Paul to Titus 2: 1-8, 11-14

2:1	But you are to speak the things that befit sound doctrine.
2:2	Old men should be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, ngomonde.
2:3	Old women, ngokufanayo, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well,
2:4	so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, love their children,
2:5	be sensible, chaste, restrained, have concern for the household, be kind, be subordinate to their husbands: so that the Word of God may be not blasphemed.
2:6	Exhort young men similarly, so that they may show self-restraint.
2:7	Kuzo zonke izinto, present yourself as an example of good works: emfundisweni, with integrity, with seriousness,
2:8	with sound words, irreproachably, so that he who is an opponent may dread that he has nothing evil to say about us.
2:11	For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men,
2:12	instructing us to reject impiety and worldly desires, so that we may live soberly and justly and piously in this age,
2:13	looking forward to the blessed hope and the advent of the glory of the great God and of our Savior Jesus Christ.
2:14	He gave himself for our sake, so that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse for himself an acceptable people, pursuers of good works.
