Προς Τιτον 2
1 συ δε λαλει α πρεπει τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια
But do you inculcate the things which become wholesome doctrine:
2 πρεσβυτασ νηφαλεουσ ειναι σεμνουσ σωφρονασ υγιαινοντασ τη πιστει τη αγαπη τη υπομονη
that aged men be vigilant, grave, prudent, healthy by faith, love, patience.
3 πρεσβυτιδασ ωσαυτωσ εν καταστηματι ιεροπρεπεισ μη διαβολουσ μη οινω πολλω δεδουλωμενασ καλοδιδασκαλουσ
That aged women, in like manner, be in deportment as becomes sacred persons--not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, good teachers;
4 ινα σωφρονιζωσιν τασ νεασ φιλανδρουσ ειναι φιλοτεκνουσ
that they may persuade the young women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children--
5 σωφρονασ αγνασ οικουρουσ αγαθασ υποτασσομενασ τοισ ιδιοισ ανδρασιν ινα μη ο λογοσ του θεου βλασφημηται
to be calm, chaste, careful of their families, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be defamed.
6 τουσ νεωτερουσ ωσαυτωσ παρακαλει σωφρονειν
The young men, in like manner, exhort to govern their passions.
7 περι παντα σεαυτον παρεχομενοσ τυπον καλων εργων εν τη διδασκαλια αδιαφθοριαν σεμνοτητα αφθαρσιαν
In all things make yourself a pattern of good works: in teaching, show incorruptness, gravity,
8 λογον υγιη ακαταγνωστον ινα ο εξ εναντιασ εντραπη μηδεν εχων περι ημων λεγειν φαυλον
wholesome speech which can not be condemned; that he who is on the opposite side may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say concerning you.
9 δουλουσ ιδιοισ δεσποταισ υποτασσεσθαι εν πασιν ευαρεστουσ ειναι μη αντιλεγοντασ
Exhort servants to be subject to their own masters, and in all things be careful to please, not answering again,
10 μη νοσφιζομενουσ αλλα πιστιν πασαν ενδεικνυμενουσ αγαθην ινα την διδασκαλιαν του σωτηροσ ημων θεου κοσμωσιν εν πασιν
not secretly stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 επεφανη γαρ η χαρισ του θεου η σωτηριοσ πασιν ανθρωποισ
For the favor of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men;
12 παιδευουσα ημασ ινα αρνησαμενοι την ασεβειαν και τασ κοσμικασ επιθυμιασ σωφρονωσ και δικαιωσ και ευσεβωσ ζησωμεν εν τω νυν αιωνι (aiōn g165)
teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world-- (aiōn g165)
13 προσδεχομενοι την μακαριαν ελπιδα και επιφανειαν τησ δοξησ του μεγαλου θεου και σωτηροσ ημων ιησου χριστου
expecting the blessed hope; namely, the appearing of the glory of the great God, and of our Saviour 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 to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 ταυτα λαλει και παρακαλει και ελεγχε μετα πασησ επιταγησ μηδεισ σου περιφρονειτω
These things inculcate, and exhort, and reprove with all authority; let no one despise you.
