Bible Study: Titus 2
In chapter one, verse ten, Paul said there were many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped because they subvert whole houses, teaching things that they ought not be teaching for filthy lucre’s sakes. Their teaching is not only wrong, their motives are wrong.
In contrast to these false teachers who are teaching for filthy lucre’s sake, he begins chapter two with the words, But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: There are these other teachers that are teaching fallacies, but you, Titus, teach the things which become sound doctrine.
Now in writing to Timothy, Paul said, there will come a time when men will not endure sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will pile up to themselves teachers, who will say the things that are entertaining or say the things that the people are wanting to be said.
