Titus 2:5 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Keepers at home,— The word Οικουρους, according to Elsner, signifies not only keeping at home, but an attentive looker after domestic affairs. Hesychius explains it by "one who takes care of the things belonging to the house, and keeps them." Some would join the next epithet with this, and read good housekeepers. That the word of God be not blasphemed, means, "that they may give no occasion by their behaviour for any reproach to be cast upon that Christianity which they profess." Heylin reads it, So that religion may not be reproached on their account.

Titus 2:5

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
