King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 2:1 | But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: |
| 2:2 | That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. |
| 2:3 | The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; |
| 2:4 | That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, |
| 2:5 | To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. |
| 2:6 | Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. |
| 2:7 | In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, |
| 2:8 | Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. |
| 2:9 | Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; |
| 2:10 | Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. |
| 2:11 | For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, |
| 2:12 | Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; |
| 2:13 | Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; |
| 2:14 | Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. |
| 2:15 | These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. |

By the mid-18th century the wide variation in the various modernized printed texts of the Authorized Version, combined with the notorious accumulation of misprints, had reached the proportion of a scandal, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge both sought to produce an updated standard text. First of the two was the Cambridge edition of 1760, the culmination of twenty-years work by Francis Sawyer Parris, who died in May of that year. This 1760 edition was reprinted without change in 1762 and in John Baskerville's fine folio edition of 1763. This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
