Titus 2:4-6

2:4 In this way ⁶  they will train ⁷  the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children, 2:5 to be self-controlled, ⁸  pure, fulfilling their duties at home, ⁹  kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message ¹⁰  of God may not be discredited. ¹¹  2:6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled, ¹² 

[1:7]  ¹ tn Grk “came for a testimony.”

[1:7]  sn Witness is also one of the major themes of John’s Gospel. The Greek verb μαρτυρέω (marturew) occurs 33 times (compare to once in Matthew, once in Luke, 0 in Mark) and the noun μαρτυρία (marturia) 14 times (0 in Matthew, once in Luke, 3 times in Mark).

[1:7]  ² tn Or “to bear witness.”

[1:7]  ³ tn Grk “all.”

[12:32]  ⁴ tn Grk “all.” The word “people” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for stylistic reasons and for clarity (cf. KJV “all men”).

[12:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “whom Jesus,” but a repetition of the proper name (Jesus) here would be redundant in the English clause structure, so the pronoun (“he”) is substituted in the translation.

[2:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “that they may train” (continuing the sentence of 2:3).

[2:4]  ⁷ tn This verb, σωφρονίζω (swfronizw), denotes teaching in the sense of bringing people to their senses, showing what sound thinking is.

[2:5]  ⁸ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:5]  ⁹ tn Grk “domestic,” “keeping house.”

[2:5]  ¹⁰ tn Or “word.”

[2:5]  ¹¹ tn Or “slandered.”

[2:6]  ¹² tn Or “sensible.”
