Titus 2:1

Speak thou [λ α λ ε ι]. See on Matthew 28:18; John 8:26. Become [π ρ ε π ε ι]. Originally, to stand out; be conspicuous. Thus Homer, Obadiah 1:8; Obadiah 1:172 : meta de prepei ajgromenoisin he is conspicuous among those who are assembled. Eurip. Hel. 215; Zeuv prepwn dij aijqerov Zeus shining clearly through the aether. Hence, to become conspicuously fit; to become; beseem. In N. T. in the impersonal forms prepon ejstin it is becoming (Matthew 3:15); prepei it becometh (Ephesians 5:3); eprepen it became (Hebrews 2:10). With a subject nominative, 1 Timothy 2:10; Hebrews 7:26.
