But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. 2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. 6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. 7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8 and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. 9 Bondservants are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior. —Titus 2:1–10

Right teaching leads to right living which displays the and of the gospel.

Paul’s purpose here is not to point people to a law they must

, but to the gospel they already believe.

1. God’s Word should be confirmed through the of believing men and women – vs.2-6

2. God’s character should be revealed by the

of believing men and women – vs. 7-8

3. God’s beauty should be expressed through the

of believing men and women – vs. 9-10

Right teaching leads to right living which displays the truth and beauty of the gospel so we must not be

with gaining knowledge.

“You are the light of the world…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. —Matthew 5:14–16
