Titus 2:3
_ _ behaviour — “deportment.”
_ _ as becometh holiness — “as becometh women consecrated to God” [Wahl]: being by our Christian calling priestesses unto God (Ephesians 5:3; 1 Timothy 2:10). “Observant of sacred decorum” [Bengel].
_ _ not false accusers — not slanderers: a besetting sin of some elderly women.
_ _ given to much wine — the besetting sin of the Cretans (Titus 1:12). Literally, “enslaved to much wine.” Addiction to wine is slavery (Romans 6:16; 2 Peter 2:19).
_ _ teachers — in private: not in public (1 Corinthians 14:34; 1 Timothy 2:11, 1 Timothy 2:12); influencing for good the younger women by precept and example. |
