Titus chapter 2 deals with the behavior that church members must have in their respective functions and responsibilities, exhorting them to be sensible, moderate, worthy and obedient to sound doctrine. In addition, he also instructs the role of women, elderly and young men in the community. Below are five selected verses from other parts of the Bible that relate to the topics covered in Titus 2:
1 Timothy 5:1-2: "Do not rebuke harshly to the elder, but admonish him as the Father; the young men, as the brothers; the elderly women, like mothers; the girls, like sisters, with all purity. " This verse talks about the importance of respecting the different age and gender groups in the Church with respect and care, which aligns with the instructions given in Titus 2.
Titus 1:9: "Resting firmly the faithful word, which is according to the doctrine, that it may be powerful, both to admonish with sound doctrine and to convince the contradicts." This verse highlights the importance of biblical doctrine and its preservation to the health and effectiveness of the church.
1 Peter 2:9: "But you are the elected generation, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, the acquired people, that you may announce the virtues of him who called you from darkness to his wonderful light." This verse highlights the special identity and responsibility of believers as representatives of God in the world.
1 Timothy 6:1-2: "All who are under the yoke of servitude to consider their masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine are not blasphemed. And those who have believers do not despise them , because they are brothers; first they serve them better, because they participate in the benefit are believers and beloved. " This verse teaches about the stance that slaves should have to their masters, which resembles the teaching of Titus 2 over servants in general.
1 Timothy 2:9-10: "In the same luck, as women, in honest costume, ateed themselves with modesty and simplicity, not braids, or with gold, or pearls, or precious dresses, but (as is appropriate to women who They make a profession of serving God) with good works. " This verse deals specifically on women's conduct in the church and reinforces Titus 2's teaching about the appropriate behavior of Christian women.
