πᾶσαν ἐνδεικνυμένους πραΰτητα
all displaying gentleness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of humility, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “always being humble” or “always being considerate”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
πρὸς πάντας ἀνθρώπους
toward all people
Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “toward everyone”
3:1-11 The emphasis on wholesome teaching (1:9; 2:1) continues; Paul turns now to the relationship of the Christian community with society at large (cp. 1 Tim 2:2-4). As in Titus 2:1-15, God’s instructions for his people (3:1-2) are based on his dealings with them (3:3-7; cp. study note on 2:11-15). Paul then instructs Titus to avoid fruitless disputes and to insist on beneficial teaching (3:8-11).
