Προς Τιτον 2

1 συ δε λαλει α πρεπει τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια

But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

2 πρεσβυτασ νηφαλεουσ ειναι σεμνουσ σωφρονασ υγιαινοντασ τη πιστει τη αγαπη τη υπομονη

that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:

3 πρεσβυτιδασ ωσαυτωσ εν καταστηματι ιεροπρεπεισ μη διαβολουσ μη οινω πολλω δεδουλωμενασ καλοδιδασκαλουσ

and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 ινα σωφρονιζωσιν τασ νεασ φιλανδρουσ ειναι φιλοτεκνουσ

that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 σωφρονασ αγνασ οικουρουσ αγαθασ υποτασσομενασ τοισ ιδιοισ ανδρασιν ινα μη ο λογοσ του θεου βλασφημηται

to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and being subject to their own husbands, so that God's word may not be discredited.

6 τουσ νεωτερουσ ωσαυτωσ παρακαλει σωφρονειν

Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;

7 περι παντα σεαυτον παρεχομενοσ τυπον καλων εργων εν τη διδασκαλια αδιαφθοριαν σεμνοτητα αφθαρσιαν

in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,

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

and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

9 δουλουσ ιδιοισ δεσποταισ υποτασσεσθαι εν πασιν ευαρεστουσ ειναι μη αντιλεγοντασ

Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;

10 μη νοσφιζομενουσ αλλα πιστιν πασαν ενδεικνυμενουσ αγαθην ινα την διδασκαλιαν του σωτηροσ ημων θεου κοσμωσιν εν πασιν

not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

11 επεφανη γαρ η χαρισ του θεου η σωτηριοσ πασιν ανθρωποισ

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,

12 παιδευουσα ημασ ινα αρνησαμενοι την ασεβειαν και τασ κοσμικασ επιθυμιασ σωφρονωσ και δικαιωσ και ευσεβωσ ζησωμεν εν τω νυν αιωνι (aiōn g165)

instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)

13 προσδεχομενοι την μακαριαν ελπιδα και επιφανειαν τησ δοξησ του μεγαλου θεου και σωτηροσ ημων ιησου χριστου

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;

14 οσ εδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων ινα λυτρωσηται ημασ απο πασησ ανομιασ και καθαριση εαυτω λαον περιουσιον ζηλωτην καλων εργων

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

15 ταυτα λαλει και παρακαλει και ελεγχε μετα πασησ επιταγησ μηδεισ σου περιφρονειτω

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
