Titus
Titus 2:8–10
8and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
9Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.
