Titus 2:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, Teach ... to be sober, х soofronizoosin (G4994)] - 'self-restrained,' 'discreet:' Titus 2:2, "temperate" х soofronas (G4998)]. But see note; cf. note, 2 Timothy 1:7. Ellicott, 'That they school the young women to be lovers of their husbands,' etc. (the foundation of all domestic happiness). It was judicious that Titus, a young man, should admonish the young women, not directly, but through the older women.
