Titus 2:5

Titus 2:5

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Titus 2:4

Titus 2:6 >>

Discreet - Particularly in the love of their children. Chaste - Particularly in the love of their husbands. Keepers at home - Whenever they are not called out by works of necessity, piety, and mercy. Good - Well tempered, sweet, soft, obliging. Obedient to their husbands - Whose will, in all things lawful, is a rule to the wife. That the word of God be not blasphemed - Or evil spoken of; particularly by unbelieving husbands, who lay all the blame on the religion of their wives.
