Προς Τιτον 2
1 Σὺ δὲ λάλει ἃ πρέπει τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ.
But speak thou the things that belong to wholesome doctrine.
2 Πρεσβύτας νηφαλίους εἶναι, σεμνούς, σώφρονας, ὑγιαίνοντας τῇ πίστει, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ.
And teach the older men to be watchful in their minds, and to be sober, and to be pure, and to be sound in the faith, and in love and in patience.
3 Πρεσβύτιδας ὡσαύτως ἐν καταστήματι ἱεροπρεπεῖς, μὴ διαβόλους, μηδὲ οἴνῳ πολλῷ δεδουλωμένας, καλοδιδασκάλους,
And so also the elder women, that they be in behavior as becometh the fear of God; and not to be slanderers; and not to be addicted to much wine; and to be inculcators of good things,
4 ἵνα σωφρονίζουσιν τὰς νέας φιλάνδρους εἶναι, φιλοτέκνους,
making the younger women to be modest, to love their husbands and their children,
5 σώφρονας, ἁγνάς, οἰκουργούς, ἀγαθάς, ὑποτασσομένας τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα μὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ βλασφημῆται.
to be chaste and holy, and to take good care of their households, and to be obedient to their husbands; so that no one may reproach the word of God.
6 Τοὺς νεωτέρους ὡσαύτως παρακάλει, σωφρονεῖν·
And likewise exhort young men to be sober.
7 περὶ πάντα σεαυτὸν παρεχόμενος τύπον καλῶν ἔργων, ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀφθορίαν, σεμνότητα,
And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful,
8 λόγον ὑγιῆ, ἀκατάγνωστον, ἵνα ὁ ἐξ ἐναντίας ἐντραπῇ, μηδὲν ἔχων λέγειν περὶ ἡμῶν φαῦλον.
such as is sober and uncorrupt; and let no one despise it: so that he who riseth up against us, may be ashamed, seeing he can say nothing odious against us.
9 Δούλους ἰδίοις δεσπόταις ὑποτάσσεσθαι ἐν πᾶσιν, εὐαρέστους εἶναι, μὴ ἀντιλέγοντας,
Let servants obey their masters in every thing, and strive to please them, and not contradict, nor pilfer;
10 μὴ νοσφιζομένους, ἀλλὰ πᾶσαν πίστιν ἐνδεικνυμένους ἀγαθήν, ἵνα τὴν διδασκαλίαν τὴν τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, ˚Θεοῦ, κοσμῶσιν ἐν πᾶσιν.
but let them manifest that their fidelity, in all respects, is good: so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Life-giver, in all things.
11 Ἐπεφάνη γὰρ ἡ χάρις τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, σωτήριος πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις,
For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed 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)
and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God, (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 the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah;
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 recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.
15 Ταῦτα λάλει, καὶ παρακάλει, καὶ ἔλεγχε, μετὰ πάσης ἐπιταγῆς. Μηδείς σου περιφρονείτω.
These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.
