The Biblical Role of Women

Titus 2:1–10  (ID: 1605)

The Gospel has implications for daily life which are often in opposition to cultural expectations. Though a woman is of equal worth with a man in God’s eyes, Scripture’s instructions for her role in the family and church differ from those directed toward men. Alistair Begg reminds us that women’s unique, honorable call to be workers at home ultimately serves to show the Gospel’s beauty to their families and communities.

Teach Sound Doctrine

1But as for you, teach what accords with sound1 doctrine. 2Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. 6Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. 7Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. 9Bondservants2 are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
