Titus Chapter 2
Teaching Sound Doctrine
1 But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.
2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good. 4 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.
6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8 and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10 not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.
Paul tells us through the book of Titus how everyone who is called a Christian should behave. The first chapter is about Elders–those who lead in the Church, but chapter 2, he talks about everyone else.
