Paul gives instruction for things to teach various age, gender and status groups.
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
Titus 2:2-3
Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,
Titus 2:6,9
The slave instructions are good for employees, students and children add well.
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
Titus 2:12 NIV
A good instruction for all of us
