Titus 2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

10 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 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.

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.

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

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