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 1:11

1:11 who must be silenced because they mislead whole families by teaching for dishonest gain what ought not to be taught.

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 

Titus 3:14

3:14 Here is another way that our people ⁸  can learn ⁹  to engage in good works to meet pressing needs and so not be unfruitful.

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

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.

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.

⁴ tn Or “sensible.”

⁵ tn Grk “domestic,” “keeping house.”

⁶ tn Or “word.”

⁷ tn Or “slandered.”

⁷ tn Grk “that those who are ours” (referring to the Christians).

⁸ tn Grk “and also let our people learn.”
