Titus 2:9

Slaves ¹  are to be subject to their own masters in everything, ²  to do what is wanted and not talk back,

Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,

Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

Slaves must obey their masters and do their best to please them. They must not talk back

Guide slaves into being loyal workers, a bonus to their masters--no back talk,

Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument;

Tell slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to talk back,

Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things , not answering back,

Slaves ¹  are to be subject to their own masters in everything, ²  to do what is wanted and not talk back,

¹ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 1:1.

² tn Or “to be subject to their own masters, to do what is wanted in everything.”
