00:00 - Start
00:00:22.815 --> 00:00:26.818
The Epistle of Paul to Titus, Chapter 2.
00:00:26.818 --> 00:00:31.731
But what you teach must agree with true teaching.
00:00:31.731 --> 00:00:37.593
Tell the older men that in anything they do, they must not go too far.
00:00:37.593 --> 00:00:40.286
They must be worthy of respect.
00:00:40.286 --> 00:00:42.686
They must control themselves.
00:00:42.686 --> 00:00:44.841
They must have true faith.
00:00:44.841 --> 00:00:46.823
They must love others.
00:00:46.823 --> 00:00:48.664
They must not give up.
00:00:50.265 --> 00:00:53.609
In the same way, teach the older women to lead a holy life.
00:00:53.609 --> 00:00:56.511
They must not tell lies about others.
00:00:56.511 --> 00:00:59.274
They must not let wine control them.
00:00:59.274 --> 00:01:02.976
Instead they must teach what is good.
00:01:02.976 --> 00:01:09.302
Then they can advise the younger women to love their husbands and children.
00:01:09.302 --> 00:01:12.224
The younger women must control themselves and be pure.
00:01:12.224 --> 00:01:15.810
They must take good care of their homes.
00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:17.831
They must be kind.
00:01:17.831 --> 00:01:21.036
They must follow the lead of their husbands.
00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:31.000
Then no one will be able to speak evil things against God's word.
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:37.221
In the same way, help the young men to control themselves.
00:01:37.221 --> 00:01:38.382
Do what is good.
00:01:38.382 --> 00:01:39.385
Set an example for them in everything.
00:01:39.385 --> 00:01:41.046
When you teach, be honest and serious.
00:01:41.046 --> 00:01:43.911
No one can question the truth.
00:01:43.911 --> 00:01:46.254
So teach what is true.
00:01:46.254 --> 00:01:49.463
Then those who oppose you will be ashamed.
00:01:49.463 --> 00:01:53.612
That's because they will have nothing bad to say about us.
00:01:53.612 --> 00:01:59.028
Teach slaves to obey their masters in everything they do.
00:01:59.028 --> 00:02:02.254
Tell them to try to please their masters.
00:02:02.254 --> 00:02:04.882
They must not talk back to them.
00:02:04.882 --> 00:02:07.165
They must not steal from them.
00:02:07.165 --> 00:02:11.614
Instead, they must show that they can be trusted completely.
00:02:11.614 --> 00:02:20.125
Then they will make the teaching about God, our Savior, appealing in every way.
00:02:20.186 --> 00:02:22.169
God's grace has now appeared.
00:02:22.169 --> 00:02:26.961
By His grace, god offers to save all people.
00:02:26.961 --> 00:02:32.127
His grace teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful desires.
00:02:32.127 --> 00:02:34.969
We must control ourselves.
00:02:34.969 --> 00:02:37.193
We must do what's right.
00:02:37.193 --> 00:02:40.376
We must lead godly lives in today's world.
00:02:40.376 --> 00:02:50.424
That's how we should live as we wait for the blessed hope God has given us.
00:02:50.424 --> 00:02:51.866
We are waiting for Jesus Christ to appear in his glory.
00:02:51.866 --> 00:02:54.270
He is our great God and Savior.
00:02:54.270 --> 00:02:56.754
He gave himself for us.
00:02:56.754 --> 00:03:01.324
By doing that, he set us free from all evil.
00:03:01.324 --> 00:03:04.269
He wanted to make us pure.
00:03:04.269 --> 00:03:07.554
He wanted us to be his very own people.
00:03:07.554 --> 00:03:11.163
He wanted us to desire to do what is good.
00:03:11.163 --> 00:03:14.370
These are the things you should teach.
00:03:14.370 --> 00:03:17.300
Encourage people and give them hope.
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:19.801
Correct them with full authority.
00:03:19.801 --> 00:03:22.883
Don't let anyone look down on you.
