2:4 In this way ¹  they will train ²  the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children, 2:5 to be self-controlled, ³  pure, fulfilling their duties at home, ⁴  kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message ⁵  of God may not be discredited. ⁶  2:6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled, ⁷ 

Titus 2:12

2:12 It trains us ⁸  to reject godless ways ⁹  and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

[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.

[2:5]  ³ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “domestic,” “keeping house.”

[2:5]  ⁵ tn Or “word.”

[2:5]  ⁶ tn Or “slandered.”

[2:6]  ⁷ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:12]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ tn Grk “ungodliness.”
