WHAT IS SOUND DOCTRINE? THEN AND NOW, AUGUST 15, 2026

"But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

• That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

• The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well.

• That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children.

• To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed.

• Young men in like manner, exhort that they be sober" (Titus 2:6)

St Paul exhorts his coworker Titus, [mentioned in various places in Paul's letters] to admonish the Church members - whether they are 'senior citizens' or young believers - to hold to the same high standard of our calling as disciples of the Lord so as not to dishonor His holy name!
