Context of Titus 2:7

5The young women will control themselves well and be pure in how they live. They will be good housewives who are kind to other people. They will respect their husbands. If they live in a good way like that, nobody will be able to say bad things about God's message. 6As for the young men, tell them also to control themselves wisely in how they live. You yourself must always do good things too. In that way, you will show the young men how they should live. When you teach the believers, be honest and serious. 8Teach a message that is correct, so that nobody can say anything against it. Then our enemies will be ashamed, because they cannot say anything bad about us. 9As for slaves, tell them to obey their masters always. They must not argue with their masters. Instead, they should work well to please their masters.

Commentaries on Titus 2:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7In all things showing thyself a pattern - As the apostle had given directions relative to the conduct of old men, Titus 2:2, of old women, Titus 2:3, of young women, Titus 2:4, and of young men, Titus 2:6, the words , which we translate in all things, should be rather considered in reference to the above persons, and the behavior required in them: showing thyself a pattern of good works to all these persons - being, in sobriety, gravity, temperance, what…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works - Not merely teaching others, but showing them by example how they ought to live.

Showing uncorruptness - The word here used does not occur elsewhere in the New Testament. It means, here, the same as purity - that which is…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-15Sound teaching was especially urgent on account of the false teachers, who had caused problems within "entire households" (1:11). In 2:1–10, Paul addresses different groups within the household of faith, showing his concern for the public testimony of the church (2:5, 8, 10; see also 1 Tim 5:1–6:2). Paul then elaborates on the coming of Christ (Titus 2:11–14) before giving a direct charge to Titus (2:15).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 77. In--with respect to all things. thyself a pattern--though but a young man thyself. All teaching is useless unless the teacher's example confirm his word. in doctrine--in thy ministerial teaching (showing) uncorruptness, that is, untainted purity of motive on thy part (compare 2Co 11:3), so as to be "a pattern" to all. As "gravity," &c., refers to Titus himself, so "uncorruptness"; though, doubtless, uncorruptness of the doctrine will be sure to follow…Read the comment
