SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–15: Paul told Titus what he should teach about Christian behavior

In this section, Paul explained the behavior that Titus should encourage in various groups of believers. He did not want anyone to say bad things about the word of God based on the behavior of Christians. He also encouraged Titus to let his own behavior be a good example for others. The reason to act in these ways is because the grace of God has appeared to us all, teaching us how to act while we wait for Jesus’ return.

2:4a

In this way they can train the young women

In this way they will be able to teach/show the younger women how to behave.
so they will give/set a good example for the younger women.

In this way: The Greek word that the BSB translates In this way indicates the purpose for doing something. Here it connects the idea of training younger women (2:4a) as the purpose for the older women teaching what is good (2:3c).

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

so that (NASB)

and so (REB)

they can train: The Greek word that the BSB translates as train means “encourage” or “advise.” The older women should show the younger women how to behave through their own good conduct and advice.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

they may encourage (NRSV)

they can show (the younger women) how

the young women: This is a general term referring to women old enough to be married but young enough to still have a husband and children to care for.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

young married women

2:4b

to love their husbands and children,

They will be able to teach them how to act with love toward their husbands and children,
They can show them how to behave in a loving way to their husbands and children,

to love their husbands and children: The Greek text is more literally “to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children.” These two ideas represent the mark of a good wife in both Greek and Jewish cultures. They describe a deep affection for family and a commitment to meeting their needs.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

to take loving care of their husbands and children

to be loving wives and mothers (REB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, so that marks training the younger women as the goal or purpose of being “teachers of what is good” in verse 3. Of course, living in a good way, as verse 3 describes, helps the older women to be teachers of what is good. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is the purpose.

φιλάνδρους

husband-loving

Alternate translation: [lovers of their own husbands]

φιλοτέκνους

children-loving

Alternate translation: [and lovers of their own children]
