the goal of our instruction is

"How to Live Out Your Faith" {Titus2:1-8}
* All are watched: by kids, by coworkers, by unbelieving world -- lifestyle biggest testimony of Christ in us
* The command {Titus2:1}
- "But you" directed to all believers (prob in Crete of false teachers)

* Directions to older women {Titus2:3-4a}
