Titus Chapter 3 (3 of 3)
Series: The Epistle of Titus

Titus 3:2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
That's right! It's the very same thing that Paul said in 1st Timothy 3, with this exception. He adds that the person who has moderation is meek and demonstrates that meekness to ALL men. This is exactly the same thing that Paul spoke of concerning moderation that he spoke of in Philippians 4:5, Let your moderation be known to ALL men.

Romans 3:24-28
