Titus 1:5 (Amplified Bible)
1:5 For this reason I left you [behind] in Crete, that you might set right what was defective and finish what was left undone, and that you might appoint elders and set them over the churches (assemblies) in every city as I directed you.
Titus 3:8 (Amplified Bible)
3:8 This message is most trustworthy, and concerning these things I want you to insist steadfastly, so that those who have believed in (trusted in, relied on) God may be careful to apply themselves to honorable occupations and to doing good, for such things are [not only] excellent and right [in themselves], but [they are] good and profitable for the people.
VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Teach these things:
"Tell [them all] these things."
We just need to look at the context, to know these things.
1. Teach in accord with sound doctrine
Titus 2:1 (Amplified Bible)
2:1 BUT [as for] you, teach what is fitting and becoming to sound (wholesome) doctrine [the character and right living that identify true Christians].
2. Teach what fits a specific group
Titus 2:2-10 (Amplified Bible)
2:2 Urge the older men to be temperate, venerable (serious), sensible, self-controlled, and sound in the faith, in the love, and in the steadfastness and patience [of Christ].
2:3 Bid the older women similarly to be reverent and devout in their deportment as becomes those engaged in sacred service, not slanderers or slaves to drink. They are to give good counsel and be teachers of what is right and noble,
2:4 So that they will wisely train the young women to be sane and sober of mind (temperate, disciplined) and to love their husbands and their children,
2:5 To be self-controlled, chaste, homemakers, good-natured (kindhearted), adapting and subordinating themselves to their husbands, that the word of God may not be exposed to reproach (blasphemed or discredited).
2:6 In a similar way, urge the younger men to be self-restrained and to behave prudently [taking life seriously].
2:7 And show your own self in all respects to be a pattern and a model of good deeds and works, teaching what is unadulterated, showing gravity [having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive], with dignity and seriousness.
2:8 And let your instruction be sound and fit and wise and wholesome, vigorous and irrefutable and above censure, so that the opponent may be put to shame, finding nothing discrediting or evil to say about us.
2:9 [Tell] bond servants to be submissive to their masters, to be pleasing and give satisfaction in every way. [Warn them] not to talk back or contradict,
2:10 Nor to steal by taking things of small value, but to prove themselves truly loyal and entirely reliable and faithful throughout, so that in everything they may be an ornament and do credit to the teaching [which is] from and about God our Savior.
3. Grace of GOD
Titus 2:11 (Amplified Bible)
2:11 For the grace of God (His unmerited favor and blessing) has come forward (appeared) for the deliverance from sin and the eternal salvation for all mankind.
4. Godliness and self-controlled lives
Titus 2:12 (Amplified Bible)
2:12 It has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness (irreligion) and worldly (passionate) desires, to live discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout (spiritually whole) lives in this present world,
5. Blessed Hope - rapture and second coming
Titus 2:13 (Amplified Bible)
2:13 Awaiting and looking for the [fulfillment, the realization of our] blessed hope, even the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
6. CHRIST's redemption for us
Titus 2:14 (Amplified Bible)
2:14 Who gave Himself on our behalf that He might redeem us (purchase our freedom) from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people [to be peculiarly His own, people who are] eager and enthusiastic about [living a life that is good and filled with] beneficial deeds.
B. Encourage and rebuke with all authority
"Urge (advise, encourage, warn) and rebuke with full authority."
1. Encouragement
Exodus 14:13 (Amplified Bible)
14:13 Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again.
Isaiah 41:13 (Amplified Bible)
41:13 For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you!
Matthew 14:27 (Amplified Bible)
14:27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid!
2. Rebuke
Proverbs 17:10 (Amplified Bible)
17:10 A reproof enters deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred lashes into a [self-confident] fool.
Proverbs 9:8 (Amplified Bible)
9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
Luke 17:3 (Amplified Bible)
17:3 Pay attention and always be on your guard [looking out for one another]. If your brother sins (misses the mark), solemnly tell him so and reprove him, and if he repents (feels sorry for having sinned), forgive him.
C. Don't let anyone despise you
"Let no one despise or disregard or think little of you [conduct yourself and your teaching so as to command respect]"
Definition: Despise - to disdain. To disdain means to think unworthy.
1. Doing evil despises the Word
2 Samuel 12:9 (Amplified Bible)
12:9 Why have you despised the commandment of the Lord, doing evil in His sight? You have slain Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife. You have murdered him with the sword of the Ammonites.
Evil here is specifically murder of Uriah, the Hitite.
2. Discipline can be despised. Discipline here means correction.
Job 5:17 (Amplified Bible)
5:17 Happy and fortunate is the man whom God reproves; so do not despise or reject the correction of the Almighty [subjecting you to trial and suffering].
3. We can be despised
Jeremiah 14:21 (Amplified Bible)
14:21 Do not abhor, condemn, and spurn us, for Your name’s sake; do not dishonor, debase, and lightly esteem Your glorious throne; [earnestly] remember, break not Your covenant or solemn pledge with us.
4. GOD can be despised because of money
Matthew 6:24 (Amplified Bible)
6:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in).
Luke 16:13 (Amplified Bible)
16:13 No servant is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (riches, or anything in which you trust and on which you rely).
5. Church and authority can be despised
1 Corinthians 11:22 (Amplified Bible)
11:22 What! Do you have no houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and mean to show contempt for it, while you humiliate those who are poor (have no homes and have brought no food)? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, [most certainly] I will not!
2 Peter 2:10 (Amplified Bible)
2:10 And particularly those who walk after the flesh and indulge in the lust of polluting passion and scorn and despise authority. Presumptuous [and] daring [self-willed and self-loving creatures]! They scoff at and revile dignitaries (glorious ones) without trembling,
Matthew 16:19 (Amplified Bible)
16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.
John 20:23 (Amplified Bible)
20:23 [Now having received the Holy Spirit, and being led and directed by Him] if you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained.
Hebrews 13:17 (Amplified Bible)
13:17 Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them [continually recognizing their authority over you], for they are constantly keeping watch over your souls and guarding your spiritual welfare, as men who will have to render an account [of their trust]. [Do your part to] let them do this with gladness and not with sighing and groaning, for that would not be profitable to you [either].
IX. CONCLUSION:
Titus Chapter 2 contains the things we should teach as a starter.
