04/16/24 GOO DOCTRINE LEADS TO GODLY LIVING

Here is one of a multitude of passages, which tells us specifically that sound doctrine is related to godly living. Sound doctrine results in godly living.

I don't know of any passage, which indicates the idea that sound doctrine commands, commends, endorses, encourages or allows ungodly living, though I am sure someone can find a passage that they can twist into such an idea. But I can take you to hundreds of passages which indicate godly living is inherent to sound doctrine.

Good doctrine espouses godly behavior. Be careful what you hear.
Good doctrine enables godly behavior. Be careful what you believe.
Good company encourages godly behavior. Be careful who you follow. 

Titus 2:1-10
1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
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;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
