A Godly Lady

Here in Titus, the ladies are charged with the duties of:

A. Reverence

B.

Not Slanderous C. Sober-minded- prone to side with the devil and oppose God, Falsely accusing God D. Teachers of good things E. Discreet- sound mind F. Chaste- pure G. Guarder of the home- Coming from the Greek word Oikourgos- meaning guard H. Obedient to their own husbands

The word here used as admonish is translated as sober in the KJV.

However, both words fall short of providing the depth of the Greek word.

In Greek, the word is Sophronizosin

This word means to teach, admonish, and restore to a state of mind.
