Tit. 2:4• 4Que enseñen á las mujeres jóvenes á ser predentes, á que amen á sus maridos, á que amen á sus hijos, (Tit. 2:4)
• (Tsaddi) The twenty-seventh verse emphasizes something which in a wife and mother is unspeakably precious. She looks well to the ways of her household. Solicitously she notices the habits and actions, as well as marking the speech, of her children. Without nagging and ill-temper, she yet exercises a firm but loving discipline over each one; checking here and encouraging there, as she sees either to be needed. Never too busy to seek to win an erring one from the snares of worldliness and pride, she eats not the bread of idleness, but by both example and precept endeavors to guide her offspring in the way of peace. (“Proverbs Thirty-One” by H.A. Ironside)
