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).

/the/_older_women likewise
Some verbs are lacking here that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be clearer in your language, you could continue the verbal ideas from the previous two verses and apply them here, as well, such as “Teach older women to be” or “Exhort older women to be.” Alternate translation, removing the comma: “In the same way, teach older women to be” or “Also teach older women to be”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οἴνῳ πολλῷ δεδουλωμένας

People who cannot control themselves and drink too much wine are spoken of here as if they were a slave to the wine. Alternate translation: [controlled by their desire for wine]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οἴνῳ πολλῷ δεδουλωμένας
˱to˲_wine much /having_been/_enslaved
If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: [drinking too much wine]
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
καλοδιδασκάλους
good_teaching
If it is helpful in your language, you can indicate the contrast between this good quality and the two preceding bad qualities. Alternate translation: [but rather, teachers of what is good]
