Titus 2

1 But do thou speak the things that become sound teaching;

Σὺ δὲ λάλει ἃ πρέπει τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ.

2 that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

πρεσβύτας νηφαλίους εἶναι, σεμνούς, σώφρονας, ὑγιαίνοντας τῇ πίστει, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ.

3 that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;

Πρεσβύτιδας ὡσαύτως ἐν καταστήματι ἱεροπρεπεῖς, μὴ διαβόλους ⸀μηδὲοἴνῳ πολλῷ δεδουλωμένας, καλοδιδασκάλους,

4 that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,

ἵνα ⸀σωφρονίζωσιτὰς νέας φιλάνδρους εἶναι, φιλοτέκνους,

5 discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

σώφρονας, ἁγνάς, ⸀οἰκουργούς ἀγαθάς, ὑποτασσομένας τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα μὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ βλασφημῆται.

6 The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:

Τοὺς νεωτέρους ὡσαύτως παρακάλει σωφρονεῖν·

7 in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,

περὶ πάντα σεαυτὸν παρεχόμενος τύπον καλῶν ἔργων, ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ ⸀ἀφθορίαν ⸀σεμνότητα

8 a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:

λόγον ὑγιῆ ἀκατάγνωστον, ἵνα ὁ ἐξ ἐναντίας ἐντραπῇ μηδὲν ἔχων ⸂λέγειν περὶ ἡμῶν φαῦλον.

9 bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;

Δούλους ἰδίοις δεσπόταις ὑποτάσσεσθαι ἐν πᾶσιν, εὐαρέστους εἶναι, μὴ ἀντιλέγοντας,

10 not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.

μὴ νοσφιζομένους, ἀλλὰ ⸂πᾶσαν πίστιν ἐνδεικνυμένους ἀγαθήν, ἵνα τὴνδιδασκαλίαν ⸀τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν θεοῦ κοσμῶσιν ἐν πᾶσιν.

11 For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,

Ἐπεφάνη γὰρ ἡ χάρις τοῦ ⸀θεοῦσωτήριος πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις

12 teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, (aiōn g165)

παιδεύουσα ἡμᾶς, ἵνα ἀρνησάμενοι τὴν ἀσέβειαν καὶ τὰς κοσμικὰς ἐπιθυμίας σωφρόνως καὶ δικαίως καὶ εὐσεβῶς ζήσωμεν ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι, (aiōn g165)

13 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

προσδεχόμενοι τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν ⸂Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,

14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.

ὃς ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἵνα λυτρώσηται ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάσης ἀνομίας καὶ καθαρίσῃ ἑαυτῷ λαὸν περιούσιον, ζηλωτὴν καλῶν ἔργων.

15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.

Ταῦτα λάλει καὶ παρακάλει καὶ ἔλεγχε μετὰ πάσης ἐπιταγῆς· μηδείς σου περιφρονείτω.
