Titus Chapter 2, Verse 6
From BibleWiki
6: τους νεωτερους ωσαυτως παρακαλει σωφρονειν
6: Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
6: Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded. Marg., discreet. On the meaning of the Greek word used here (swfronein,) "Tit 2:2"; "Tit 2:4".
The idea is, that they should be entreated to be prudent, discreet, serious in their deportment; to get the mastery over their passions and appetites; to control the propensities to which youth are subject; and that there should be such self-government, under the influence of religion, as to avoid excess in everything. A well-governed mind, superior to the indulgence of those passions to which the young are prone, will express the meaning of the word here. They should be "steady in their behaviour, superior to sensual temptations, and constant in the exercise of every part of self-government." Doddridge.
- "sober" "discreet"
