Instructions for Living a Godly Life

1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Commentary

In Titus 2, Paul continues to instruct Titus on how to lead the church in Crete. He begins by instructing Titus to teach the older men to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and endurance. He then instructs the older women to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine, but to teach what is good. He then instructs the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, and to be busy at home. He then instructs the younger men to be self-controlled. Finally, he instructs all believers to be sound in faith, love, and endurance. Paul's instructions in Titus 2 are a reminder to all believers of the importance of living a life of holiness and self-control. He emphasizes the importance of living a life of faith, love, and endurance, and of being an example to others. He also emphasizes the importance of living a life of purity and of being busy at home. Paul's instructions are a reminder to all believers that we should strive to live a life that is pleasing to God and that is an example to others.
