Poslanica Titu 2

Promicati zdravo učenje

1 Ali ti poučavaj životu koji je u skladu sa zdravim učenjem.

2 Pouči starije muškarce da budu trijezni i razboriti te zdravi u vjeri, ljubavi i strpljivosti.
3 Pouči starije žene da se ponašaju pobožno i predano. Ne smiju ogovarati i neka ne robuju prevelikom vinu. Radije neka budu učiteljice dobra.4 Neka odgajaju mlađe žene da žive mirno, da ljube svoje muževe i djecu,

5 da budu razborite i čista srca, da marljivo rade u svojim domovima, da budu dobre i poslušne muževima kako drugi zbog njih ne bi vrijeđali Božju riječ.
6 Mladiće također potiči da budu razumni.7 Sam im budi uzor čineći dobra djela. Poučavaj zdravo i ozbiljno.

8 Neka ti učenje bude tako zdravo da se tvoji protivnici posrame jer nemaju što loše reći.
9 Robovi se u svemu moraju pokoravati svojim gospodarima i truditi se da im ugode. Ne smiju im proturječiti

10 niti ih potkradati, nego se moraju pokazati pouzdanima. Tako će učenje o Bogu, našem Spasitelju, učiniti privlačnim u svakom pogledu.
11 Objavljena je Božja milost koja donosi spasenje svim ljudima.12 Odgojila nas je da se odreknemo bezbožnog života i grešnih svjetovnih požuda te da u ovome svijetu živimo uzdržljivo, pravedno i pobožno13 iščekujući blaženu nadu: da se veliki Bog, naš Spasitelj Isus Krist, pojavi u slavi.14 On je dao sebe umjesto nas da nas oslobodi od svakoga grijeha, da nas očisti i da budemo njegov izabrani narod koji revno čini dobra djela.

15 To poučavaj i opominji ljude da tako čine. Kori ih kad je to potrebno jer imaš tu vlast. Nemoj da te tko prezire!

Titus 2

Conduct Consistent with Sound Teaching

1 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes witht sound teaching.2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled,t sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.s3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.4 In this wayt they will traint the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,5 to be self-controlled,t pure, fulfilling their duties at home,t kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the messaget of God may not be discredited.t6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,t7 showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,8 and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss,t because he has nothing evil to say about us.9 Slavest are to be subject to their own masters in everything,t to do what is wanted and not talk back,

10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith,t in order to bring credit tot the teaching of God our Savior in everything.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.t12 It trains ust to reject godless wayst and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,13 as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearingt of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.t14 Het gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his,t who are eager to do good.t

15 So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuket that carries full authority.t Don’t let anyone look downt on you.
