Titus 2:1

Titus 2:1 But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine.

How to teach what accords with sound doctrine? According to 1:9, "must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught." Know the word through it being taught. An interesting emphasis on teaching here... Its not just to know the word, but to know it "as taught." There is something extra important about having the truth taught to one another - to submit to our teachers, learning the word in a community context (at least two, if not a more public, whole-church context). Just studying the word alone isn't enough to understand it (to be kept from misreading, misinterpreting, etc.).

Then, you have to "hold firm" to what was taught - meditation, use it, allow it to "accord with godliness" in your own life.

Then, Titus is asked to teach it. This is a very 2 Timothy 2:2 idea: "and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." Be taught, then teach to others who are able to teach. Do something with the truth - don't just hear it and enjoy it, but do something with it (teach your kids, pass it along to your wife, friends..., don't hoard it, but share it). I should be mindful to let the truth flow through me more than I do.
