Titus 1:6

1:6 An elder must be blameless, ¹  the husband of one wife, ²  with faithful children ³  who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.

Titus 2:4-5

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

[1:6]  ¹ tn Grk “if anyone is blameless…” as a continuation of v. 5b, beginning to describe the elder’s character.

[1:6]  ² tn Or “married only once,” “devoted solely to his wife.” See the note on “wife” in 1 Tim 3:2; also 1 Tim 3:12; 5:9.

[1:6]  ³ tn Or “believing children.” The phrase could be translated “believing children,” but the parallel with 1 Tim 3:4 (“keeping his children in control”) argues for the sense given in the translation.

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

[2:4]  ⁵ tn This verb, σωφρονίζω (swfronizw), denotes teaching in the sense of bringing people to their senses, showing what sound thinking is.

[2:5]  ⁶ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “domestic,” “keeping house.”

[2:5]  ⁸ tn Or “word.”

[2:5]  ⁹ tn Or “slandered.”
