Papyrus 32 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. A papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to Titus, it contains only Titus 1:11-15; 2:3-8. On the basis of paleography, the manuscript has been assigned a date around A.D. 200.
Description
It is written in round and rather large letters. A slight tendency towards division of words can be observed. The nomina sacra are abbreviated.
The Greek text of this codex, with the exception of one singular reading, agrees with the common readings of the Alexandrian text-type and Byzantine text-type. Aland described it as "at least normal text", placing it in Category I. This manuscript shows agreement with 01, F, and G wherever they read with the majority of manuscripts, but does not receive any support from them in the placing of παρεχομενοσ after rather than before τυπον in v. 7.
It is currently housed with the Rylands Papyri at the John Rylands University Library (Gr. P. 5) in Manchester.
Greek text
The papyrus is written on both sides. The characters that are in bold style are the ones that can be seen in 𝔓. It shows agreement with all the standard edited texts of Titus 1-2 except toward the end of Titus 2:7, where it appears to read αφθονιαν (generosity) instead of αφθοριαν (the Alexandrian reading of 01 02 04) or αδιαφθοριαν (the reading of most other manuscripts of Titus 2), both meaning "incorruption."

to muzzle, because whole families they are upsetting,
teaching what they must not, for ugly
gain's sake. Said one of themselves,
even one of their own prophets, "Cretans are always
liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."
The testimony of this is true. Because of
this reason, reprove them severely,
so that they may be sound in the faith; Not
giving heed to Jewish myths,
and commandments of men, who turn
away from the truth. All things are
pure unto the pure: but unto them who are
both defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure.
Epistle to Titus 2:3-8 (verso)

false accusers, not to wine much enslaved,
teachers of the good. So that
they may teach to be sensible the young women, loving their husbands,
loving their children. Sober minded,
pure, busy in the home, kind,
subject to their own husbands.
So that not the word of God may be blasphemed.
The young men,
likewise, urge to be sober minded.
Concerning all things, yourself shew
an example of good works:
in the teaching show generosity, gravity,
soundness of speech beyond reproach;
so that he who opposes you may be ashamed,
