titus 2:2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

< Titus 1:16
Titus 2:2 >

      2. sober--Translated "vigilant," as sober men alone can be (1Ti 3:2). But "sober" here answers to "not given to wine," Tit 2:3; Tit 1:7.
      grave--"dignified"; behaving with reverent propriety.
      temperate--"self-restrained"; "discreet" [ALFORD], (Tit 1:8; 1Ti 2:9).
      faith . . . charity [love] . . . patience--combined in 1Ti 6:11. "Faith, hope, charity" (1Co 13:13). "Patience," Greek, "enduring perseverance," is the attendant on, and is supported by, "hope" (1Co 13:7; 1Th 1:3). It is the grace which especially becomes old men, being the fruit of ripened experience derived from trials overcome (Ro 5:3).
