Προς Τιτον 2

1 Σὺ δὲ λάλει ἃ πρέπει τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ.

But do thou speak the things that become sound teaching;

2 Πρεσβύτας νηφαλίους εἶναι, σεμνούς, σώφρονας, ὑγιαίνοντας τῇ πίστει, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ.

that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

3 Πρεσβύτιδας ὡσαύτως ἐν καταστήματι ἱεροπρεπεῖς, μὴ διαβόλους, (μὴ *NK(o)*) οἴνῳ πολλῷ δεδουλωμένας, καλοδιδασκάλους,

that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;

4 ἵνα (σωφρονίζωσιν *NK(o)*) τὰς νέας φιλάνδρους εἶναι, φιλοτέκνους,

that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,

5 σώφρονας, ἁγνάς, (οἰκουργοὺς *N(k)O*) ἀγαθάς, ὑποτασσομένας τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα μὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ βλασφημῆται.

discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

6 Τοὺς νεωτέρους ὡσαύτως παρακάλει σωφρονεῖν,

The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:

7 περὶ πάντα σεαυτὸν παρεχόμενος τύπον καλῶν ἔργων, ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ (ἀδιαφθορίαν *K*) ἀφθορίαν, σεμνότητα,

in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,

8 λόγον ὑγιῆ, ἀκατάγνωστον, ἵνα ὁ ἐξ ἐναντίας ἐντραπῇ μηδὲν ἔχων λέγειν περὶ (ἡμῶν *N(K)O*) φαῦλον.

a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:

9 Δούλους ἰδίοις δεσπόταις ὑποτάσσεσθαι, ἐν πᾶσιν εὐαρέστους εἶναι, μὴ ἀντιλέγοντας,

bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;

10 μὴ νοσφιζομένους ἀλλὰ πᾶσαν πίστιν ἐνδεικνυμένους ἀγαθήν, ἵνα τὴν διδασκαλίαν (τὴν *no*) τοῦ σωτῆρος (ἡμῶν *NK(O)*) θεοῦ κοσμῶσιν ἐν πᾶσιν.

not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.

11 Ἐπεφάνη γὰρ ἡ χάρις τοῦ θεοῦ (ἡ *k*) σωτήριος πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις

For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,

12 παιδεύουσα ἡμᾶς ἵνα ἀρνησάμενοι τὴν ἀσέβειαν καὶ τὰς κοσμικὰς ἐπιθυμίας σωφρόνως καὶ δικαίως καὶ εὐσεβῶς ζήσωμεν ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι (aiōn g165)

teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, (aiōn g165)

13 προσδεχόμενοι τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,

awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

14 ὃς ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἵνα λυτρώσηται ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάσης ἀνομίας καὶ καθαρίσῃ ἑαυτῷ λαὸν περιούσιον, ζηλωτὴν καλῶν ἔργων.

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.

15 Ταῦτα λάλει καὶ παρακάλει καὶ ἔλεγχε μετὰ πάσης ἐπιταγῆς. μηδείς σου περιφρονείτω.

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
