Titus 2:2

2:2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, ¹  sound in faith, in love, and in endurance. ² 

Titus 2:5

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 

Titus 2:12

2:12 It trains us ⁷  to reject godless ways ⁸  and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

[2:2]  ¹ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:2]  ² sn Temperate…in endurance. See the same cluster of virtues in 1 Thess 1:3 and 1 Cor 13:13.

[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.”

[2:12]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Grk “ungodliness.”
