Titus 2:7-8

‘In all things showing yourself a pattern (example) of good works; in your doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sound speech, which cannot be condemned, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.’

Meanwhile Titus himself must be a good example to all. His doctrine (or his way of teaching) must be pure and uncorrupt, he must be seen to be serious, and what he says is not to be open to condemnation, for he must be wise, true and discreet in all that he says (compare James 3:1-2). He is to be the example that all can follow (compare 1 Corinthians 11:1; Philippians 3:17).

‘Having no evil thing to say of us.’ The point is not that people will not say evil of us but that we must give them no occasion for doing so.
