Thursday's Living Water

Scripture

Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.
Titus 3:2-5




Los ancianos deben ser sobrios, dignos, prudentes, sanos en la fe, en el amor, en la perseverancia.

Asimismo, las ancianas deben ser reverentes en su conducta: no calumniadoras ni esclavas de mucho vino, que enseñen lo bueno,

que enseñen a las jóvenes a que amen a sus maridos, a que amen a sus hijos,

a ser prudentes, puras, hacendosas en el hogar, amables, sujetas a sus maridos, para que la palabra de Dios no sea blasfemada.
Tito 3:2-5
