Your job is to speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine....Guide older women into lives of reverence so they
end up as neither gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness. By looking at
them, the younger women will know how to love their husbands and children, be
virtuous and pure, keep a good house, be good wives. We don’t want anyone
looking down on God’s Message because of their behavior. Also, guide the young
men to live disciplined lives.
But mostly,
show them all this by doing it yourself, incorruptible in your teaching, your
words solid and sane. Then anyone who is dead set against us, when he finds
nothing weird or misguided, might eventually come around.
~ Titus 2:5-8
