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 2:5

2:5 to be self-controlled, ⁴  pure, fulfilling their duties at home, ⁵  kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message ⁶  of God may not be discredited. ⁷ 

[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.

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Or “sensible.”

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

[2:5]  ⁶ tn Or “word.”

[2:5]  ⁷ tn Or “slandered.”
