It is possible that this phrase is part of the previous sentence instead of this one. If the Bible used in your area uses this phrase to end the previous sentence, you may choose to do the same.
σεαυτὸν παρεχόμενος
yourself bringing_about
Alternate translation: “show yourself to be” or “you yourself must serve as”
τύπον καλῶν ἔργων
/an/_example ˱of˲_good works
Alternate translation: “as an example of one who does right and proper things”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀφθορίαν, σεμνότητα
in your teaching incorruption dignity
Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “In the teaching, present yourself with incorruption and dignity”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀφθορίαν, σεμνότητα
in your teaching incorruption dignity
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of incorruption and dignity, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “In the teaching, be uncorrupted, dignified” or “In the teaching, be honest, serious”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
ἀφθορίαν
incorruption
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative word that consists of the negative prefix in- and the negative word corruption. Alternate translation: “honesty” or “integrity”
2:1-15 Wholesome teaching was especially urgent on account of the false teachers, who had wreaked havoc on “whole families” (1:11). In 2:1-10, Paul addresses different groups within the household of faith, showing his concern for the public testimony of the church (2:5, 8, 10; see also 1 Tim 5:1–6:2). Paul then elaborates on the coming of Christ (Titus 2:11-14) before giving a direct charge to Titus (2:15).
