Titus 2

1 You however, should speak of such subjects as properly have a place in sound teaching.

συ δε λαλει α πρεπει τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια

2 Teach that the older men should be soberly clear minded, dignified and self-controlled – sound in faith, love, and patient endurance.

πρεσβυτας νηφαλιους ειναι σεμνους σωφρονας υγιαινοντας τη πιστει τη αγαπη τη υπομονη

3 So, too, that the older women should live reverent lives, not slanderers, not slaves to excessive drinking.

πρεσβυτιδας ωσαυτως εν καταστηματι ιεροπρεπεις μη διαβολους {VAR1: μηδε } {VAR2: μη } οινω πολλω δεδουλωμενας καλοδιδασκαλους

4 They should teach what is good, so as to train the younger women to love their husbands and children,

ινα σωφρονιζωσιν τας νεας φιλανδρους ειναι φιλοτεκνους

5 and to be self-controlled, pure-minded, to be watching over their home, to be kind, respecting the authority of their husbands, so that no one will speak badly of God’s message.

σωφρονας αγνας οικουργους αγαθας υποτασσομενας τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ινα μη ο λογος του θεου βλασφημηται

6 In the same way with the younger men – encourage them to be self-controlled.

τους νεωτερους ωσαυτως παρακαλει σωφρονειν

7 In all things, set an example of doing good. In your teaching, show integrity and seriousness –

περι παντα σεαυτον παρεχομενος τυπον καλων εργων εν τη διδασκαλια αφθοριαν σεμνοτητα

8 let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed when they fail to find anything bad to say about us.

λογον υγιη ακαταγνωστον ινα ο εξ εναντιας εντραπη μηδεν εχων λεγειν περι ημων φαυλον

9 Tell slaves to respect their owner’s authority in all circumstances, and to try their best to please them.

δουλους ιδιοις δεσποταις υποτασσεσθαι εν πασιν ευαρεστους ειναι μη αντιλεγοντας

10 Teach them not to contradict or to pilfer, but to show such praiseworthy fidelity in everything, as to recommend the teaching about God our Saviour by all that they do.

μη νοσφιζομενους αλλα πασαν πιστιν ενδεικνυμενους αγαθην ινα την διδασκαλιαν την του σωτηρος ημων θεου κοσμωσιν εν πασιν

11 For the loving kindness of God has been revealed, bringing salvation for all,

επεφανη γαρ η χαρις του θεου σωτηριος πασιν ανθρωποις

12 leading us to renounce ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives here in this present age, (aiōn g165)

παιδευουσα ημας ινα αρνησαμενοι την ασεβειαν και τας κοσμικας επιθυμιας σωφρονως και δικαιως και ευσεβως ζησωμεν εν τω νυν αιωνι (aiōn g165)

13 while awaiting our blessed hope – the appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour, Christ Jesus.

προσδεχομενοι την μακαριαν ελπιδα και επιφανειαν της δοξης του μεγαλου θεου και σωτηρος ημων {VAR1: χριστου ιησου } {VAR2: ιησου χριστου }

14 For he gave himself on our behalf, to deliver us from all wickedness, and to purify for himself a people who should be truly his own and eager to do good.

ος εδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων ινα λυτρωσηται ημας απο πασης ανομιας και καθαριση εαυτω λαον περιουσιον ζηλωτην καλων εργων

15 Tell them of all this, and encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone belittle you.

ταυτα λαλει και παρακαλει και ελεγχε μετα πασης επιταγης μηδεις σου περιφρονειτω
