Titus 2

1. But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2. That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3. The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4. That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5. To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6. Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8. Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9. Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10. Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14. Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

1st Timothy 5

21. I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

22. Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.

23. Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

24. Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

25. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

There is so much wisdom contained within Scripture, one has to take time to digest the contents, contextual applications to real life, its affect on relationships; both spiritual and physical.

We are told to observe the teachings, not preferring one over another and to do nothing with partiality. Doing something for our GOD requires us giving ourselves wholly to the Lord, not wavering in our commitment nor holding back. Sometimes everyone stumbles or falls, but as believers we are to get back up and continue.

At times the Father may set us aside if we fail only to use the believer at a later when or if we have overcome what caused us to previously fall.

As scripture reads above, some mens sins are open while other follow after them, meaning at some point the evil will come into view. Never think you’re going to get away with wickedness because its like a cancer on the soul, it continually eats and grows until its malignant, killing those it infects. Jesus is the only cure for the cancer of sin, not ourselves or our own righteousness, only Him.
