New International Reader's Version

Titus 2:9-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. Teach slaves to obey their masters in everything they do. Tell them to try to please their masters. They must not talk back to them.

10. They must not steal from them. Instead, they must show that they can be trusted completely. Then they will make the teaching about God our Savior appealing in every way.

11. God's saving grace has appeared to all people.

12. It teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful longings. We must control ourselves. We must do what is right. We must lead godly lives in today's world.

13. That's how we should live as we wait for the blessed hope God has given us. We are waiting for Jesus Christ to appear in all his glory. He is our great God and Savior.

14. He gave himself for us. By doing that, he set us free from all evil. He wanted to make us pure. He wanted us to be his very own people. He wanted us to long to do what is good.
