eusebos describes living in a manner marked by piety, whether amid persecution or in renouncing ungodliness.

The two occurrences portray a single use: living in a pious manner, both in the setting of persecution and in the call to reject ungodliness and worldly desires.

Senses in use

  1. Living in a pious manner · dominant

    The adverb qualifies living in both occurrences. In 2 Timothy 3:12 the APB renders a desire "to live piously in Christ Jesus" alongside the expectation of persecution; in Titus 2:12 it renders the call to renounce ungodliness and worldly desires and to live "godly lives in the present age."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the adverb with "piously" in 2 Timothy 3:12 and within "godly lives" in Titus 2:12. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish separate senses.
