< Titus 2 >

1 But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.
συ δε λαλει α πρεπει τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια
2 Exhort aged men to be temperate, grave, sober-minded, robust in their faith, their love and their patience.
πρεσβυτας νηφαλιους ειναι σεμνους σωφρονας υγιαινοντας τη πιστει τη αγαπη τη υπομονη
3 In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.
πρεσβυτιδας ωσαυτως εν καταστηματι ιεροπρεπεις μη διαβολους μη οινω πολλω δεδουλωμενας καλοδιδασκαλους
4 They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,
ινα σωφρονιζωσιν τας νεας φιλανδρους ειναι φιλοτεκνους
5 industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.
σωφρονας αγνας οικουρους αγαθας υποτασσομενας τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ινα μη ο λογος του θεου βλασφημηται
6 In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet,
τους νεωτερους ωσαυτως παρακαλει σωφρονειν
7 and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, but a serious tone,
περι παντα σεαυτον παρεχομενος τυπον καλων εργων εν τη διδασκαλια αδιαφθοριαν σεμνοτητα
8 and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us.
λογον υγιη ακαταγνωστον ινα ο εξ εναντιας εντραπη μηδεν εχων περι υμων λεγειν φαυλον
9 Exhort slaves to be always obedient to their owners, and to give them satisfaction in everything, not contradicting and not pilfering,
δουλους ιδιοις δεσποταις υποτασσεσθαι εν πασιν ευαρεστους ειναι μη αντιλεγοντας
10 but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things.
μη νοσφιζομενους αλλα πιστιν πασαν ενδεικνυμενους αγαθην ινα την διδασκαλιαν του σωτηρος ημων θεου κοσμωσιν εν πασιν
11 For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,
επεφανη γαρ η χαρις του θεου η σωτηριος πασιν ανθρωποις
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time, (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 in expectation of the fulfilment of our blessed hope--the Appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
προσδεχομενοι την μακαριαν ελπιδα και επιφανειαν της δοξης του μεγαλου θεου και σωτηρος ημων ιησου χριστου
14 who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.
ος εδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων ινα λυτρωσηται ημας απο πασης ανομιας και καθαριση εαυτω λαον περιουσιον ζηλωτην καλων εργων
15 Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. Let no one make light of your authority.
ταυτα λαλει και παρακαλει και ελεγχε μετα πασης επιταγης μηδεις σου περιφρονειτω
