Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ἀλλὰ
but
The connecting word Instead introduces a contrast between the things that an elder is not to be (that Paul already stated), and the things that an elder is to be (that Paul is about to state). Indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “In contrast”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
φιλάγαθον
/a/_lover_of_good
Here Paul is speaking of what is good as if it were a person who could be someone's friend. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a person who loves to do good things”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
σώφρονα & ἐγκρατῆ
sensible & self-controlled
The terms sensible and self-controlled are very similar in meaning and may be translated by one term if the target language does not have two similar terms.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
δίκαιον, ὅσιον
righteous devout
The terms righteous and holy are very similar in meaning and may be translated by one term if the target language does not have two similar terms.
1:5-16 Strong, faithful leadership was needed in the churches of Crete to address the danger of false teachers (1:10-16). This part of Titus’s task dovetails with the larger concern of the letter: to shape a community that bears witness to Christ by embodying God’s grace in its conduct. Cp. 1 Tim 3:1-7.
OET (OET-RV) but rather hospitable, someone who loves what is good, sensible, honest, loves God, and self-controlled.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
