Qualities of a Sound Church

1 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine:
2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—
4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be discreet, chaste, ahomemakers, good, bobedient to their own husbands, cthat the word of God may not be blasphemed.  
6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded,
7 in all things showing yourself to be aa pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, bincorruptibility,  
8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of1 you.  
9 Exhort abondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,  
10 not1 pilfering, but showing all good2 fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

Titus 2:1

But speak thou the things - This is a conclusion drawn from the preceding chapter: the Judaizing teachers not only taught a false doctrine, but they led an unholy life; Titus was to act directly opposite; he must teach a sacred doctrine, and the things which become it; he must proclaim the truth, and illustrate that truth. The people must not only be well instructed, but they must be holy in their lives. Principle and practice must go hand in hand.
