You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. (Titus 2:1)

These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you. (Titus 2:15)

What were “the things” Paul urged Titus to preach? Specific instructions to those who made up the church to possess an inward righteousness that adorns the gospel of Christ.

“Evidence Before Information” People need to see the evidence of Christianity in us before they will hear the information about Christianity from us!

Sound doctrine for older men (Titus 2:2)

Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. (Titus 2:2)

Background of the Cretans “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons”. Lying had become so commonly accepted among Cretans that one word for lying in Greek is “kritizein”! Crete was a beautiful island, known for not possessing wild animals. Ironically its only wild beasts were the men who lived there! Cretan men “loved to party” and such parties lent themselves to drunkenness, revelry, and indulgence.

Temperate Naphalios—not only restraint in the use of wine; the associated condition of watchfulness or alertness. It also conveyed the idea of moderation in general.

Worthy of Respect Semnous—having seriousness of purpose, but not gloominess. It combines the ideas of gravity and dignity, that which inspires reverence and awe or respect, thus NASV “worthy of respect”.

Sound (hagaino) Sound is from hagiaino from which we get “hygiene”. It conveys the idea of what is healthy or wholesome

Sound… In Faith (pistos) –Older Christian men should have become good students of the word. In Love (agape) –Older Christian men should also have become good servants of others. In Endurance (hupomene) –Older Christian men should also have become good examples of patience in facing life’s trials.

Observations Beware of the “mid-life crisis”. Paul challenges older men to set the pace in spirituality and to become spiritual leaders worthy to be respected and followed. Good leaders are the product of a commitment to godly living. A man who seeks to please the Lord from the time of his conversion is on his way to leadership in the church.
