Titus 2:11‑14• 11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
 12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
 13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
 14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2:11‑14)

;
1 Tim. 1:10• 10For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; (1 Tim. 1:10)

• If he was steward of God's mysteries for the saints, he was no less to be a watchman on God's behalf. He was therefore to speak what befitted sound doctrine. This he could not do without Christ continually before his own eyes. (“On Titus 2:1-2” by W. Kelly)
• The work of Titus was largely pastoral; and a vast deal of a pastor's work lies in speaking face to face with the objects of his care. This does not at all supersede the value of public teaching, on the one hand; but, on the other, teaching in public will never supply adequately all that every day's need requires. (“On Titus 2:1-2” by W. Kelly)
• True liberty reigns in the assembly; moral order secures this; and the enemy finds no better occasion to dishonor the Lord and ruin the testimony and throw all into disorder, thus giving the world occasion to blaspheme, than the forgetfulness of grace and holy order among Christians. (“Titus 2” by J.N. Darby)
• {v.1-10} “Sound doctrine” takes account of all this, and, in its warnings and exhortations, maintains all these proprieties. This is the instruction which the Apostle here gives to Titus, with regard to aged men, aged women, young women (relatively to their husbands, their children and their whole life, which should be domestic and modest); young men, to whom Titus was to be always a pattern; slaves, with their masters. (“Titus 2” by J.N. Darby)
