¶ Start
The Epistle of Paul to Titus , Chapter 2 . But what you teach must agree with true teaching . Tell the older men that in anything they do , they must not go too far . They must be worthy of respect . They must control themselves . They must have true faith . They must love others . They must not give up .
In the same way , teach the older women to lead a holy life . They must not tell lies about others . They must not let wine control them . Instead they must teach what is good . Then they can advise the younger women to love their husbands and children . The younger women must control themselves and be pure . They must take good care of their homes .
They must be kind . They must follow the lead of their husbands . Then no one will be able to speak evil things against God's word . In the same way , help the young men to control themselves . Do what is good . Set an example for them in everything . When you teach , be honest and serious . No one can question the truth . So teach what is true .
Then those who oppose you will be ashamed . That's because they will have nothing bad to say about us . Teach slaves to obey their masters in everything they do . Tell them to try to please their masters . They must not talk back to them . They must not steal from them . Instead , they must show that they can be trusted completely .
Then they will make the teaching about God , our Savior , appealing in every way . God's grace has now appeared . By His grace , god offers to save all people . His grace teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful desires . We must control ourselves . We must do what's right . We must lead godly lives in today's world .
That's how we should live as we wait for the blessed hope God has given us . We are waiting for Jesus Christ to appear in his glory . He is our great God and Savior . He gave himself for us . By doing that , he set us free from all evil . He wanted to make us pure . He wanted us to be his very own people . He wanted us to desire to do what is good .
These are the things you should teach . Encourage people and give them hope . Correct them with full authority . Don't let anyone look down on you .
