Titus 2:8-9 - (GNVT)
8 And with the wholesome word, which cannot be condemned, that he which withstandeth, may be ashamed, having nothing concerning you to speak evil of.9 Let servants be subject to their masters, and please them in all things, not answering again,
Father in Heaven, may my day be filled with Your word – amen
Brethren:
The above applies to all believers that their lives should set an example and reflect a life that is in Christ Jesus. That all things are done in His name, that it might be shown to those that are non-believers, backsliders, and the young people that life in Christ is truly a life of freedom.
R.P. Woitowitz Sr.
“For doctrine will otherwise carry little authority, if its power and majesty do not shine in the life of the bishop, as in a mirror. He wishes, therefore, that the teacher may be a pattern, which his scholars may copy. Without mentioning the interpretations given by others, I shall state that which appears to me to be the most probable. First, I connect these words, of good works in doctrine; for, after having enjoined Titus that, in teaching he shall inculcate the practice of good works, he wishes that good works, which correspond to this doctrine, may be visible in his life; and consequently the preposition in means that they shall be suitable, or shall correspond, to the doctrine. What follows is in no degree obscure; for; in order that he may exhibit a representation of his doctrine in morals, he bids him be 'upright and grave.'” John Calvin
