with sound mind, prudently, in a self-controlled manner
This adverb describes the manner of living characterized by self-control and clear thinking. In Titus 2:12, it appears alongside 'righteously' and 'godly' to describe how believers should live in the present age. The term balances rational self-governance with practical wisdom. Spanish 'prudentemente' and German 'besonnen' both emphasize the thoughtful, measured quality of such conduct. This is lived wisdom, not mere intellectual exercise.
