A sermon on Titus 2. Husbands and wives

1. Like cats and dogs
Titus 2

2. Titus 2
4 so that they may encourage the young
women to love their husbands, to love
their children, 5 to be sensible, pure,
workers at home, kind, being subject to
their own husbands, so that the word of
God will not be dishonored. 6 Likewise urge
the young men to be sensible; 7 in all
things show yourself to be an example of
good deeds, with purity in doctrine,

3. dignified, 8 sound in speech which is
beyond reproach, so that the opponent will
be put to shame, having nothing bad to say
about us... 11 For the grace of God has
appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and
worldly desires and to live sensibly,
righteously and godly in the present age,
13 looking for the blessed hope and the
appearing of the glory of our great God

4. and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who gave
Himself for us to redeem us from every
lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a
people for His own possession, zealous for
good deeds. 15 These things speak and
exhort and reprove with all authority. Let
no one disregard you.
