Titus 2

1

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

1
2

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

1
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;

1
4

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

2
5

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

2
6

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

1
7

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

2
2
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.

2
9

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

1
10

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

3
11

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

1
12

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

1
13

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

1
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.

1
1
15

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

Titus 2:1

“But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:”

Study Summary

But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine — the sharp turn from false teachers to Timothy/Titus's positive role establishes the alternative: doctrine that is hygiainous (sound, healthy), creating spiritual and moral health. The teaching role (didaskalia) becomes defined by healthiness, not novelty or personal insight. The apostolic pattern model ensures continuity with apostolic faith rather than sectarian innovation.

The shepherd and the sheep — Titus 2

Now I understand why — it's a daily declaration of dependence on God.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God meets us exactly where we are — broken, uncertain, yet chosen. My grandmother used to quote this verse every morning. Today it speaks comfort; a year ago it spoke conviction.. The Hebrew word used here carries a richness that English can't fully capture. What a reminder that God's ways are not our ways. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. We bring nothing; He provides everything.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. Now I understand why — it's a daily declaration of dependence on God.. It implies covenant loyalty, steadfast love that never wavers.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. Their…
