Titum 2

1 tu autem loquere quae decet sanam doctrinam

But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:

2 senes ut sobrii sint pudici prudentes sani fide dilectione patientia

that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:

3 anus similiter in habitu sancto non criminatrices non vino multo servientes bene docentes

that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 ut prudentiam doceant adulescentulas ut viros suos ament filios diligant

that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 prudentes castas domus curam habentes benignas subditas suis viris ut non blasphemetur verbum Dei

[to be] sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:

6 iuvenes similiter hortare ut sobrii sint

the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:

7 in omnibus te ipsum praebe exemplum bonorum operum in doctrina integritatem gravitatem

in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity,

8 verbum sanum inreprehensibilem ut is qui ex adverso est vereatur nihil habens malum dicere de nobis

sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.

9 servos dominis suis subditos esse in omnibus placentes non contradicentes

[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;

10 non fraudantes, sed in omnibus fidem bonam ostendentes ut doctrinam salutaris nostri Dei ornent in omnibus

not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

11 apparuit enim gratia Dei salutaris omnibus hominibus

For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12 erudiens nos ut abnegantes impietatem et saecularia desideria sobrie et iuste et pie vivamus in hoc saeculo (aiōn g165)

instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (aiōn g165)

13 expectantes beatam spem et adventum gloriae magni Dei et salvatoris nostri Iesu Christi

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

14 qui dedit semet ipsum pro nobis ut nos redimeret ab omni iniquitate et mundaret sibi populum acceptabilem sectatorem bonorum operum

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

15 haec loquere et exhortare et argue cum omni imperio nemo te contemnat

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
