Titus / Question
Older women are to be reverent and not slanderers or slaves to much wine, and they are to teach what is good. They should train younger women in love and household faithfulness, "that the word of God may not be reviled." See Titus 2:3–5.
In Titus 2:3–5 Paul turns to older women and gives a chain of aims. Their own conduct should fit a life marked by respect and self-control, avoiding harmful speech and drink habits. This unit sits inside a larger set of instructions in Titus 2 where Titus is told to speak in a way that matches “healthy teaching,” and then to apply that teaching to different groups in the churches.
Paul treats church life as something that must be visible in ordinary behavior. In this paragraph, he links “healthy teaching” (the wider context of Titus 2) to older women’s public and private conduct: reverent behavior, restrained speech, and freedom from being controlled by alcohol.
A careful answer keeps the immediate passage, the book's argument, and the whole-Bible storyline together, so the question is answered in context instead of as a detached idea.
Start with Titus 2:3-5, then read the surrounding section so the answer stays connected to the passage's flow.
3and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God`s word may not be blasphemed.
