titus ke naam chitthi 2:1-15
2 magar tu vahi baatein batata reh jo khari* shiksha ke mutabik hain.+
2 buzurg aadmi har baat mein sanyam baratnevale hon, gambheer hon, sahi soch rakhte hon, unka vishvas mazboot ho, woh pyar se bharpoor hon aur dheeraj dharnevale hon.
3 isi tarah, buzurg aurton ka bartav aisa ho jaisa pavitra logon ko shobha deta hai. woh badnam karnevali na hon, bahot zyada daakh-madira peene ki aadi na hon balki achhi baatein sikhanevali hon
4 taaki woh javan aurton ko salah dein* ki woh apne pati aur bachchon se pyar karein,
5 sahi soch rakhein, saaf charitra banaye rakhein. saath hi woh apne ghar ka kaam-kaaj* karnevali, bhali aur apne pati ke adheen rehnevali hon+ taaki parmeshvar ke vachan ki badnami na ho.
6 isi tarah javan bhaaiyon ko badhava deta reh ki woh sahi soch rakhein.+
7 aur tu khud bhi sab baaton mein badhiya kaam karne ki misal rakh. poori gambheerta se aisi baatein sikha jo shuddh hain*+
8 aur achhi* baatein bata jinmein koi dosh na nikaal sake+ taaki hamare virodhi sharminda hon aur unhein hamare khilaf kuch bura kehne ka mauka na mile.+
9 jo daas hain woh sab baaton mein apne maalikon ke adheen rahein,+ unhein khush karein, palatkar javab na dein,
10 unka kuch na churayen+ balki poori tarah bharosemand rahein taaki woh har tarah se hamare uddharkarta parmeshvar ki shiksha ki shobha badha sakein.+
11 parmeshvar ki maha-kripa zahir ki gayi hai jo sab kism ke logon ko uddhaar dilati hai.+
12 yah hamein sikhati hai ki hum bhaktiheen kaamon aur duniyavi ichhaon ko thukrayen+ aur is duniya* mein sahi soch rakhte huye aur neki aur parmeshvar ki bhakti ke saath jeevan bitayen.+
13 aur us vakt ka intazar karte rahein jab hamari woh aasha poori hogi+ jo hamein khushi deti hai aur mahan parmeshvar aur hamare uddharkarta maseeh yeeshu ki mahima prakat hogi.
14 maseeh ne khud ko hamare liye de diya+ taaki hamein har tarah ki burai se chhudaye*+ aur shuddh karke hamein aise log bana le jo uski khaas jaageer hon aur badhiya kaamon ke liye josheele hon.+
15 tu unhein ye saari baatein batata reh, unhein samjhata* reh aur poore adhikar ke saath unka sudhaar karta reh.+ koi bhi tujhe neecha na dekhe.
