Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech.

2. Bondservants — adorn the doctrine of God

Bondservants are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

Whatever you do, work heartily, � as for the Lord and not for men…

Titus 2:14

…who are zealous for good works.
