Titus 2:4

2:4 In this way ¹  they will train ²  the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,

Titus 2:12

2:12 It trains us ³  to reject godless ways ⁴  and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

Titus 3:14

3:14 Here is another way that our people ⁵  can learn ⁶  to engage in good works to meet pressing needs and so not be unfruitful.

[2:4]  ¹ tn Grk “that they may train” (continuing the sentence of 2:3).

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

[2:12]  ³ tn Grk “training us” (as a continuation of the previous clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 by translating the participle παιδεύουσα (paideuousa) as a finite verb and supplying the pronoun “it” as subject.

[2:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “ungodliness.”

[3:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “that those who are ours” (referring to the Christians).

[3:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “and also let our people learn.”
