Titus 2 Darby Translation
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 But do thou speak the things that become sound teaching;
1 EMPERO tú, habla lo que conviene á la sana doctrina:
2 that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
2 Que los viejos sean templados, graves, prudentes, sanos en la fe, en la caridad, en la paciencia.
3 that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;
3 Las viejas, asimismo, [se distingan] en un porte santo; no calumniadoras, no dadas á mucho vino, maestras de honestidad:
4 that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,
4 Que enseñen á las mujeres jóvenes á ser prudentes, á que amen á sus maridos, á que amen á sus hijos,
5 discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
5 [A ser] templadas, castas, que tengan cuidado de la casa, buenas, sujetas á sus maridos; porque la palabra de Dios no sea blasfemada.
6 The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:
6 Exhorta asimismo á los mancebos á que sean comedidos;
7 in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,
7 Mostrándote en todo por ejemplo de buenas obras; en doctrina [haciendo ver] integridad, gravedad,
8 a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:
8 Palabra sana, é irreprensible; que el adversario se avergüence, no teniendo mal ninguno que decir de vosotros.
9 bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;
9 [Exhorta] á los siervos á que sean sujetos á sus señores, que agraden en todo, no respondones;
10 not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.
10 No defraudando, antes mostrando toda buena lealtad, para que adornen en todo la doctrina de nuestro Salvador Dios.
11 For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,
11 Porque la gracia de Dios que trae salvación á todos los hombres, se manifestó,
12 teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,
12 Enseñándonos que, renunciando á la impiedad y á los deseos mundanos, vivamos en este siglo templada, y justa, y píamente,
13 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
13 Esperando aquella esperanza bienaventurada, y la manifestación gloriosa del gran Dios y Salvador nuestro Jesucristo,
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.
14 Que se dió á sí mismo por nosotros para redimirnos de toda iniquidad, y limpiar para sí un pueblo propio, celoso de buenas obras.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
15 Esto habla y exhorta, y reprende con toda autoridad. Nadie te desprecie.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
There are some failings which age has, that youth has not. Some indeed it has in common with youth, but in addition it has a slowness, a timidity, a forgetfulness, an insensibility, and an irritability.
