Polyglot Bible: Titus: Titus 2

This is a scholarly presentation of a New Testament epistolary passage — Titus 2:1–15 — displayed in three parallel versions: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV), and the Latin Vulgate (Vul), likely for comparative textual or translation study. The passage is a section of pastoral instruction in which Paul directs Titus to teach conduct appropriate to different social groups: older men should be sober and steadfast in faith; older women should be dignified and teach younger women to be devoted wives, homemakers, and chaste; young men should practice self-control; and enslaved people should be obedient and honest to their masters. The ethical rationale given is that such behavior reflects well on Christian teaching and avoids bringing reproach on "the word of God." The passage culminates in a theological grounding: God's grace has appeared to all humanity in Jesus Christ, training believers to renounce worldly desires and live righteously in the present age while awaiting the "blessed hope" of Christ's glorious return, who gave himself to redeem and purify a people devoted to good works. Distinctively, the passage subordinates household ethics directly to theological proclamation — proper social conduct is framed not as virtue for its own sake but as a witness that adorns the "doctrine of God our Savior."
