TIT 2:6 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

MSG ^(1-6)Your job is to speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine. Guide older men into lives of temperance, dignity, and wisdom, into healthy faith, love, and endurance. Guide older women into lives of reverence so they end up as neither gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness. By looking at them, the younger women will know how to love their husbands and children, be virtuous and pure, keep a good house, be good wives. We don’t want anyone looking down on God’s Message because of their behavior. Also, guide the young men to live disciplined lives.

SOTN 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.

2:6

In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.

¶ In a similar way, urge the young men to act wisely.
¶ In a similar way, tell the young men that they should behave in a sensible way.

In the same way: This phrase indicates that Paul’s next comments are similar to what he just said. In Greek it is the same word that the BSB translates as “likewise” in 2:3.

Here are some other ways to translate it:

Likewise (NRSV)

Similarly (NIV)

urge the younger men to be self-controlled: The Greek word that the BSB translates as urge means to convince someone to think or behave in a particular way. See how you translated it in 1:9 and translate it the same way in both places.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

urge the young men to be sensible (NASB)

urge the younger men to control themselves (RSV)

Encourage young men to use good judgment (GW)

the younger men: This phrase probably refers to men between 20 and 40 years old.

to be self-controlled: This Greek word refers to someone who is thoughtful about how he behaves, is not impulsive and avoids extremes. See how you translated it in 1:8, 2:2 and 2:5 and translate it the same in all four places.
