Titus 2

1 But do, thou, speak the things which become the healthful instruction: —

You yourself however do speak [the things] that are consistent with sound doctrine.

2 That, aged men, be, sober, grave, sober-minded, healthy in their faith, love, endurance;

[The] aged [men] sober-minded are to be, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, in endurance.

3 Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, —

[the] aged [women] likewise in behavior reverent, not slanderers, (not *NK+o) to wine much enslaved, teachers of what is good,

4 That they may constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

so that (they may train *NK+o) the young [women] lovers of [their] husbands to be, loving [their] children,

5 soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, —that, the word of God, be not defamed;

self-controlled, pure (busy at home *N+kO) kind, being subject to [their] own husbands, so that not the word of God may be denigrated.

6 The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:

The younger [men] likewise do exhort to be self-controlled,

7 In all things, shewing, thyself, an ensample of noble works, —in thine instruction, uncorruptness, gravity,

In all things yourself be holding forth [as] a pattern of good works, in the teaching (unspoilable *K) incorruptable, dignity

8 healthful discourse that cannot be condemned, in order that, he that is of the contrary part, may relent, having nothing to say concerning us that is disparaging:

speech sound, beyond reproach, so that he who is of the contrary may be ashamed nothing having to say concerning (us *N+KO) evil.

9 Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

Servants to [their] own masters are to be subject, in everything well-pleasing to be, not gainsaying,

10 not taking anything away, shewing, all good faith, —that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.

not pilfering but all fidelity showing good, so that the doctrine (which [is] *no) of the Savior (of us *NK+O) God they may adorn in all things.

11 For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,

Has appeared for the grace of God [bringing] salvation to all men

12 Putting us under discipline—in order that, —denying ourselves of ungodliness and worldly covetings, in a soberminded and righteous and godly manner, we should live, in the present age, (aiōn g165)

instructing us that having denied ungodliness and worldly passions discreetly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age (aiōn g165)

13 Prepared to welcome the happy hope and forthshining of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus, —

awaiting the blessed hope and [the] appearing of the glory of the great God and Savior of us Jesus Christ

14 Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure—zealous of noble works.

who gave Himself for us that He may redeem us from all lawlessness and may purify to Himself a people specially chosen, zealous of good works.

15 As to these things, be speaking and exhorting and reproving, with all manner of precept: let, no one, disregard thee!

These things do speak and do exhort and do rebuke with all authority. No one you should despise.
