Titus:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But as for you ,
Titus ,
you must teach what is right .
*
Tell the older men that they must not drink too much wine .
They must be men whom people respect .
They must be wise .
They must believe what is true .
They must be loving and patient .
*
Tell the older women also that they must live like Christians .
They must not tell lies about anyone .
They must not drink much wine .
They must teach what is good .
*
They must teach the young women to love their husbands and their children .
*
They must teach young women to have good sense ,
to live a clean life ,
to care for their homes ,
to be kind ,
and to obey their husbands .
Then people cannot say wrong things about Gods word .
*
Also tell the young men to have good sense .
*
Titus ,
show them what they should do in all matters by the good things you do .
Do not mix your teaching with things that are not true .
Teach in such a way that people will respect you .
*
Be sure that what you say is true ,
so that no one can say anything against it .
Then anyone who is against us will be made ashamed because he can find nothing wrong to say about us .
*
Tell servants to obey their master in everything .
Tell them to please them and not talk back to them .
*
They must not steal ,
but be very honest so the person they work for can trust them .
In all things they must show that the teaching about God our Saviour is good .
*
Gods loving kindness has come .
It is through that blessing that all men are saved .
*
It teaches us to say no to the things that are not true of God ,
and to the things of this world .
It teaches us to use good sense ,
to do what is right ,
and to please God while we live in this world .
*
All this is while we wait and hope to see the one who brings blessing .
We are waiting for our great God to come in Jesus Christ .
He is the One who will save us .
He is wonderful !
*
Christ gave himself for us so that he might make us free from all that is wrong .
He gave himself to make us into clean people who belong to him and want to do good .
*
Talk about these things .
Tell people they must do them .
And use all your power to stop people if they are doing wrong .
Do not let anyone despise you .
