Толкование К Титу послание ап. Павла 2 глава 6 стих - Экзегет

Just as in respect to what he had commanded above, saying, “Likewise bid the older women to be of holy disposition,” we had mentioned that the comparison of the older women was to be related to the older men, so now in respect to what he has added, “Urge the younger men likewise to be chaste,” we think that the comparison of younger men should be applied to the older women and through the older women to the older men. Thus they should have the sobriety of the older men, and they should be honest and chaste and sound in faith, love, and patience. Now in respect to the sanctity of the disposition of the older women, they are not to be accusers, enslaved to much wine, but they should teach well, and so on. But he has recorded uniquely of the younger men that they are to be chaste “in all things,” namely, both in mind and in body, both in deeds and in thoughts, so that there is no suspicion of baseness in the young man. And although certain of the Latins think that this should be read thus, “Urge the young men likewise to be chaste,” and after this they add, “offering yourself as a model of good works in all things”; nevertheless we should know that “in all things” is to be referred to what comes above it, that is, “urge them to be chaste in all things.”
