4. Your job is to speak out on the things that make for
solid doctrine. Guide older men into lives of
temperance, dignity, and wisdom, into healthy
faith, love, and endurance. Guide older women into
lives of reverence so they end up as neither gossips
nor drunks, but models of goodness.

5. 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. (Titus 2:1-7, The Message)
