Titus 2

Authored by: American Standard Version
2:1
Συ δε λαλει α πρεπει τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια
But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
2:2
Πρεσβυτας νηφαλιους ειναι σεμνους σωφρονας υγιαινοντας τη πιστει τη αγαπη τη υπομονη
that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
2:3
πρεσβυτιδας ωσαυτως εν καταστηματι ιεροπρεπεις μη διαβολους μηδε οινω πολλω δεδουλωμενας καλοδιδασκαλους
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
2:4
ινα σωφρονιζωσιν τας νεας φιλανδρους ειναι φιλοτεκνους
that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
2:5
σωφρονας αγνας οικουργους αγαθας υποτασσομενας τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ινα μη ο λογος του Θεου βλασφημηται
to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
2:6
Τους νεωτερους ωσαυτως παρακαλει σωφρονειν
the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
2:7
Περι παντα σεαυτον παρεχομενος τυπον καλων εργων εν τη διδασκαλια αφθοριαν σεμνοτητα
in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity,
2:8
λογον υγιη ακαταγνωστον ινα ο εξ εναντιας εντραπη μηδεν εχων λεγειν περι ημων φαυλον
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.
2:9
Δουλους ιδιοις δεσποταις υποτασσεσθαι εν πασιν ευαρεστους ειναι μη αντιλεγοντας
Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing to them in all things; not gainsaying;
2:10
μη νοσφιζομενους αλλα πασαν πιστιν ενδεικνυμενους αγαθην ινα την διδασκαλιαν την του Σωτηρος ημων Θεου κοσμωσιν εν πασιν
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
2:11
Επεφανη γαρ η χαρις του Θεου σωτηριος πασιν ανθρωποις
For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

2:12
παιδευουσα ημας ινα αρνησαμενοι την ασεβειαν και τας κοσμικας επιθυμιας σωφρονως και δικαιως και ευσεβως ζησωμεν εν τω νυν αιωνι
instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;
2:13
προσδεχομενοι την μακαριαν ελπιδα και επιφανειαν της δοξης του μεγαλου Θεου και Σωτηρος ημων Ιησου Χριστου
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
2:14
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 unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
2:15
Ταυτα λαλει και παρακαλει και ελεγχε μετα πασης επιταγης μηδεις σου περιφρονειτω
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
