New Testament

Titus 2

1But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine:

συ δε λαλει α πρεπει τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια.

2that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

πρεσβυτας νηφαλιους ειναι, σεμνους, σωφρονας, υγιαινοντας τη πιστει, τη αγαπη, τη υπομονη.

3the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—

πρεσβυτιδας ωσαυτως εν καταστηματι ιεροπρεπεις, μη διαβολους, μη οινω πολλω δεδουλωμενας, καλοδιδασκαλους,

4that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

ινα σωφρονιζωσιν τας νεας φιλανδρους ειναι, φιλοτεκνους,

5to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

σωφρονας, αγνας, οικουρους, αγαθας, υποτασσομενας τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν, ινα μη ο λογος του θεου βλασφημηται.

6Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded,

τους νεωτερους ωσαυτως παρακαλει σωφρονειν,

7in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,

περι παντα σεαυτον παρεχομενος τυπον καλων εργων, εν τη διδασκαλια αδιαφθοριαν, σεμνοτητα, αφθαρσιαν,

8sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

λογον υγιη, ακαταγνωστον, ινα ο εξ εναντιας εντραπη μηδεν εχων περι ημων λεγειν φαυλον.

9Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,

δουλους ιδιοις δεσποταις υποτασσεσθαι, εν πασιν ευαρεστους ειναι, μη αντιλεγοντας,

10not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

μη νοσφιζομενους, αλλα πιστιν πασαν ενδεικνυμενους αγαθην, ινα την διδασκαλιαν του σωτηρος ημων θεου κοσμωσιν εν πασιν.

11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

επεφανη γαρ η χαρις του θεου η σωτηριος πασιν ανθρωποις,

12teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

παιδευουσα ημας ινα αρνησαμενοι την ασεβειαν και τας κοσμικας επιθυμιας σωφρονως και δικαιως και ευσεβως ζησωμεν εν τω νυν αιωνι,

13looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

προσδεχομενοι την μακαριαν ελπιδα και επιφανειαν της δοξης του μεγαλου θεου και σωτηρος ημων ιησου χριστου,

14who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

ος εδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων, ινα λυτρωσηται ημας απο πασης ανομιας και καθαριση εαυτω λαον περιουσιον, ζηλωτην καλων εργων.

15Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

ταυτα λαλει και παρακαλει και ελεγχε μετα πασης επιταγης· μηδεις σου περιφρονειτω.
