Titus2:3

3 The aged women likewise , that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness , not false accusers , not given to much wine , teachers of good things .

That is, do thou also teach the women that in age exceed others.

Not Devils, That name is given to the Devil, because he is the Accuser of the Brethren, and he was a lyar from the beginning, it is applyed to any persons that charge others falsly.

Gr. Not serving much wine; for those that frequent the tap too much, are ordinarily inslaved to it.

Privately instructing others in what is good, both by their discourse, and example.

Marginal references: 1 Tim. 2.9. 1 Pet. 3.3.; Or, holy women.; [non-Latin text not transcribed]. To be in their habit becoming holiness. The word is of a very large signification, it signifies state, gesture, and habit, we have well translated it by as general a word, Behaviour, it signifies clothes, converse, ones whole carriage.; Or, make-bates.
