Pattern Of Good Works
Titus 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a
pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity,
sincerity, (KJV)
And above all make your own life a
pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity,
but a serious tone, (Weymouth translation)
[In doctrine showing uncorruptness]
Mixing nothing with the truth; taking nothing from it; adding nothing to
it; and exhibiting it in all its connection, energy, and fullness. (Adam
Clarke Commentary)
In doctrine; what doctrine? The doctrine
of Christ, the pure word of God manifest within each of us as we allow it
to be. This is what we should be walking and abiding in at all times. Being
an example of the believers in all manner of life; not only in word, but in
deed and in truth. The pattern of good works is within each of us, and if
we follow it we will be pure and uncorrupt in doctrine before God and man.
So today, let your manner of life be in
sincerity and in truth a pattern of good works in the doctrine of Christ
which is known and read of all men regardless of whether they recognize the
truth that is within you or not, in the end they are without excuse and
unable to speak against it.
