Προς Τιτον 2
1 Σὺ δὲ λάλει ἃ πρέπει τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ.
But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:
2 Πρεσβύτας νηφαλίους εἶναι, σεμνούς, σώφρονας, ὑγιαίνοντας τῇ πίστει, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ.
That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3 Πρεσβύτιδας ὡσαύτως ἐν καταστήματι ἱεροπρεπεῖς, μὴ διαβόλους, μηδὲ οἴνῳ πολλῷ δεδουλωμένας, καλοδιδασκάλους,
The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
4 ἵνα σωφρονίζουσιν τὰς νέας φιλάνδρους εἶναι, φιλοτέκνους,
That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 σώφρονας, ἁγνάς, οἰκουργούς, ἀγαθάς, ὑποτασσομένας τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα μὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ βλασφημῆται.
To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Τοὺς νεωτέρους ὡσαύτως παρακάλει, σωφρονεῖν·
Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
7 περὶ πάντα σεαυτὸν παρεχόμενος τύπον καλῶν ἔργων, ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀφθορίαν, σεμνότητα,
In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
8 λόγον ὑγιῆ, ἀκατάγνωστον, ἵνα ὁ ἐξ ἐναντίας ἐντραπῇ, μηδὲν ἔχων λέγειν περὶ ἡμῶν φαῦλον.
The sound word that can not be blamed: that he, who is on the contrary part, may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.
9 Δούλους ἰδίοις δεσπόταις ὑποτάσσεσθαι ἐν πᾶσιν, εὐαρέστους εἶναι, μὴ ἀντιλέγοντας,
Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
10 μὴ νοσφιζομένους, ἀλλὰ πᾶσαν πίστιν ἐνδεικνυμένους ἀγαθήν, ἵνα τὴν διδασκαλίαν τὴν τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, ˚Θεοῦ, κοσμῶσιν ἐν πᾶσιν.
Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things:
11 Ἐπεφάνη γὰρ ἡ χάρις τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, σωτήριος πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις,
For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men;
12 παιδεύουσα ἡμᾶς ἵνα ἀρνησάμενοι τὴν ἀσέβειαν καὶ τὰς κοσμικὰς ἐπιθυμίας, σωφρόνως καὶ δικαίως, καὶ εὐσεβῶς, ζήσωμεν ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι, (aiōn g165)
Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world, (aiōn g165)
13 προσδεχόμενοι τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα, καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης τοῦ μεγάλου ˚Θεοῦ καὶ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, ˚Ἰησοῦ· ˚Χριστοῦ
Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our 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 iniquity, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of 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 man despise thee.
