Titus 2:1-6 - (GNVT)
1 But speak thou the things which become wholesome doctrine, 2 That the elder men be watchful, grave, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, and in patience:3 The elder women likewise, that they be in such behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not subject to much wine, but teachers of honest things.
4 That they may instruct the young women to be sober minded, that they love their husbands, that they love their children,
5 That they be temperate, chaste, keeping at home, good and subject unto their husbands, that the word of God be not evil spoken of.
6 Exhort young men likewise, that they be sober minded.
Father keep me focused on things from above – amen
Brethren:
Let God rule over your houses. That fathers be men of faith, love and patience. That mothers, subject themselves to their husbands, as a different vessel of honor. Teaching their children the Word of God, loving their husbands and children. Daughters and sons obeying their parents and being sober minded to show respect for their elders.

“The best way to resist wrong teaching is to give positive instruction in Christian doctrine and its moral application. This will produce spiritual growth and right behaviour in all groups alike, regardless of age or social background. Older men, for instance, should set an example of a well balanced Christian life Older women also should be a good example. If their lives are free of such bad habits as gossip and social climbing, the younger women are more likely to benefit from their advice and learn how to carry out their responsibilities in the home. In encouraging the young men to be self-controlled, Titus himself should be an example. By being careful in his behavior and speech, he can prevent his opponents from finding any cause to criticize either him or his teaching.” - Bridgeway Bible Commentary
