About Titus 2: Instructions for Living a Godly Life
Paul encourages Titus to teach the Cretans to live a godly life, including self-control, devotion to God, and good deeds. He also gives instructions for different groups in the community, including older men and women, younger women, and slaves.
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.
