Lettera a Tito - Titus 2

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Συ ομως λαλει οσα πρεπουσιν εις την υγιαινουσαν διδασκαλιαν.	1 It is for you, then, to preach the behaviour which goes with healthy doctrine.
2 Οι γεροντες να ηναι αγρυπνοι, σεμνοι, σωφρονες, υγιαινοντες εν τη πιστει, τη αγαπη, τη υπομονη.	2 Older men should be reserved, dignified, moderate, sound in faith and love and perseverance.
3 Αι γραιαι ωσαυτως να εχωσι τροπον ιεροπρεπη, μη καταλαλοι, μη δεδουλωμεναι εις πολλην οινοποσιαν, να ηναι διδασκαλοι των καλων,	3 Similarly, older women should behave as befits religious people, with no scandal-mongering and noaddiction to wine -- they must be the teachers of right behaviour
4 δια να νουθετωσι τας νεας να ηναι φιλανδροι, φιλοτεκνοι,	4 and show younger women how they should love their husbands and love their children,
5 σωφρονες, καθαραι, οικοφυλακες, αγαθαι, ευπειθεις εις τους ιδιους αυτων ανδρας, δια να μη βλασφημηται ο λογος του Θεου.	5 how they must be sensible and chaste, and how to work in their homes, and be gentle, and obey theirhusbands, so that the message of God is not disgraced.
6 Τους νεωτερους ωσαυτως νουθετει να σωφρονωσι,	6 Similarly, urge younger men to be moderate in everything that they do,
7 δεικνυων κατα παντα σεαυτον τυπον των καλων εργων, φυλαττων εν τη διδασκαλια αδιαφθοριαν, σεμνοτητα,	7 and you yourself set an example of good works, by sincerity and earnestness, when you are teaching,and by a message sound and irreproachable
8 λογον υγιη και ακατακριτον, δια να εντραπη ο εναντιος, μη εχων να λεγη δια σας μηδεν κακον.	8 so that any opponent will be at a loss, with no accusation to make against us.
9 Τους δουλους να υποτασσωνται εις τους εαυτων δεσποτας, να ευαρεστωσιν εις αυτους κατα παντα, να μη αντιλεγωσι,	9 Slaves must be obedient to their masters in everything, and do what is wanted without argument;
10 να μη σφετεριζωνται τα αλλοτρια, αλλα να δεικνυωσι πασαν πιστιν αγαθην, δια να στολιζωσι κατα παντα την διδασκαλιαν του σωτηρος ημων Θεου.	10 and there must be no pilfering -- they must show complete honesty at al times, so that they are in everyway a credit to the teaching of God our Saviour.
11 Διοτι εφανερωθη η χαρις του Θεου η σωτηριος εις παντας ανθρωπους,	11 You see, God's grace has been revealed to save the whole human race;
12 διδασκουσα ημας να αρνηθωμεν την ασεβειαν και τας κοσμικας επιθυμιας και να ζησωμεν σωφρονως και δικαιως και ευσεβως εν τω παροντι αιωνι,	12 it has taught us that we should give up everything contrary to true religion and all our worldly passions;we must be self-restrained and live upright and religious lives in this present world,
13 προσμενοντες την μακαριαν ελπιδα και επιφανειαν της δοξης του μεγαλου Θεου και Σωτηρος ημων Ιησου Χριστου,	13 waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the appearing of the glory of our great God andSaviour Christ Jesus.
14 οστις εδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων, δια να μας λυτρωση απο πασης ανομιας και να μας καθαριση εις εαυτον λαον εκλεκτον, ζηλωτην καλων εργων.	14 He offered himself for us in order to ransom us from al our faults and to purify a people to be his veryown and eager to do good.
15 Ταυτα λαλει και προτρεπε και ελεγχε μετα πασης εξουσιας? ας μη σε περιφρονη μηδεις.	15 This is what you must say, encouraging or arguing with ful authority; no one should despise you.
