Weekly Study #2
**Begin your study by asking the Lord to use this lesson to enhance your understanding of His Word and the application of it to your life.
1. Review Titus 1:1-16. What did you learn from this chapter that lingers with you today?
2. Read Titus 2:1-15. Give a title for the following sections of Chapter Two:
Titus 2:1-3
Titus 2:4-6
Titus 2:7,8
Titus 2:9,10
Titus 2:11-15
a. Which of these passages are you most interested in and why?
3. After Paul instructed Titus concerning the elders he was to raise up and how they were to deal with the false teachers, Paul wrote his instruction to Titus concerning his teaching ministry. According to Titus 2:1 what did Paul instruct him to do?
Optional: Research the phrase sound doctrine (Titus 2:1) and report what it means.
4. Sound doctrine should lead to godly behavior for Christians. The next several verses in Chapter Two teach us how we as believers should 'walk' so our behavior supports our 'talk'; in other words, our testimony/witness should be supported by our conduct. Record what Titus was to teach the older men and the older women as seen in Titus 2:2,3:
older men
older women
5. Paul gave additional instructions to Titus concerning the older women. View this in Titus 2:4,5. What do you see?
a. Print the phrase in verse 5 that reveals what might happen if the young women don't follow these instructions.
b. Do you think these verses apply to the young Christian wives of today? Why or why not?
c. If you consider yourself to be one of these older women today, have you had an opportunity to be a Titus 2 woman for a younger woman? If not
too personal, briefly share your experience.
6. What was Paul's instruction to Titus for the young men in the churches? See Titus 2:6 for your answer.
7. From Titus 2:7,8 it is assumed that Titus was probably a younger man himself. According to these verses how did Paul describe the example he wanted Titus to be?
a. Compare this with I Timothy 4:12. Why are these important, not only for
young Christian men, but for all Christian men?
8. Read Titus 2:9,10. Briefly summarize Paul's instructions to Titus for the Christian bondservants in the churches.
a. Explain how these relate to Christian employees today.
