Highlights
- Teaches sound doctrine of godly behaviour: temperate, worthy of respect, self controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance vs 1;
- When you examine God’s words and look upwards, there is so much to learn – no wonder it is called daily bread – food for the soul to grow in faith.
Titus 2:1-8,10-14
[1]But you must teach what agrees with sound doctrine.
[2]Instruct the older men to be sober, sensible, and self-controlled; to be sound in their faith, love, and endurance.
[3]In the same way instruct the older women to behave as women should who live a holy life. They must not be slanderers or slaves to wine. They must teach what is good,
[4]in order to train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
[5]to be self-controlled and pure, and to be good housewives who submit to their husbands, so that no one will speak evil of the message that comes from God.
[6]In the same way urge the young men to be self-controlled.
[7]In all things you yourself must be an example of good behaviour. Be sincere and serious in your teaching.
[8]Use sound words that cannot be criticized, so that your enemies may be put to shame by not having anything bad to say about us.
[10]or steal from them. Instead, they must show that they are always good and faithful, so as to bring credit to the teaching about God our Saviour in all they do.
[11]For God has revealed his grace for the salvation of the whole human race.
[12]That grace instructs us to give up ungodly living and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this world,
[13]as we wait for the blessed Day we hope for, when the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ will appear.
[14]He gave himself for us, to rescue us from all wickedness and to make us a pure people who belong to him alone and are eager to do good.
