Titus 2
Amplified 3Bid the older women …that they will wisely train the young women
Contemporary English version 3Tell the older women… They must teach what is proper,
New international version 3Likewise, teach the older women… to teach what is good. 4Then they can train the younger women
Young’s literal translation 3 Aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons,… of good things teachers, …4that they may make the young women
King James version The aged women likewise... teachers of good things… That they may teach the young women
Secondly, parents are supposed to teach their children (Proverbs 6:7 and Ephesians). This is God’s designated way for all children to learn.
Thirdly, our husbands are supposed to teach us (let your women be silent in church... and learn at home.) we pass from being under the headship of our parents to being under our husbands. This is also God’s ordained plan.
Fourth, “The aged women likewise… That they may teach the young women” older women are to teach younger women. Nowhere in the Bible does it say for women to go to tele- evangelists, famous authors, well known preachers, etc, to learn about their calling in life. You go to older women. Now, God does use our modern books and internet sometimes, but if at all possible, you should find a godly older woman to teach you His ways.
Col 3:22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
The words master, lord, and boss all have the same meanings; the person in charge. This presents a dilemma to the modern woman. God clearly tells her, as a servant (employee), to obey her master (boss at work). Yet He just a clearly tells her to obey her husband. What if the two tell her to do something different, as in her husband says to go to church every Sunday or take a weeks vacation on June 12-19, but her boss says she can’t have the time off? Most women today will obey there work boss. Jesus said “Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Who will you choose to hate who to cling to; your boss or your hubby?
Contemporary English version 5Each of the younger women must be sensible and kind, as well as a good homemaker, who puts her own husband first. Then no one can say insulting things about God's message.
From Strong’s concordance; oikouros {oy-koo-ros'} adj from 3624 and ouros (a guard, be "ware") 1) caring for the house, working at home
I once got a dog to guard my house. He decided to take to the life of roaming the neighborhood. No matter what we did we could not keep him at home. We ended up getting rid of him because we saw no good in feeding a guard dog that was never home to guard the house.
A woman who is not home can not “guard,” the home any more than my dog could.
I have heard women say that they are working outside the home so that if something happened to their husbands they would have a way to support themselves. This doesn’t make sense. “I am getting a job today and putting my child into inferior daycare (any care that is less than mommy care is inferior) so that should my husband die a year or five or twenty from now I will have a job.”
What? Why not use the benefit today of having a husband to support yourself and trust that should the unimaginable happen, God will give you a job then?
If you have real reason to believe that you will loose your husband early (illness, dangerous job, etc.) then focus on finding and building a home business now while you have the resources to live on and care for your own child yourself.
Truth be told, the best resource you can invest in for your future is your children. If you care for them now they will care for you later.
And if you are disciplined enough to live on one income now, you will not have to learn how to live on one income should you become the sole support of the house. You will already know how.

Standard Version 3
that aged women …may train the young women
Amplified 3Bid the older women …that they will wisely train the young women
Contemporary English version 3Tell the older women… They must teach what is proper,
New international version 3Likewise, teach the older women… to teach what is good. 4Then they can train the younger women
Young’s literal translation 3 Aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons,… of good things teachers, …4that they may make the young women
King James version The aged women likewise... teachers of good things… That they may teach the young women
Who is supposed to teach a woman what
she needs to know for life? The Bible gives four answers to that. First of all
God teaches us through His word. We should study our Bibles for ourselves to
learn what it says.
Secondly, parents are supposed to teach their children (Proverbs 6:7 and Ephesians). This is God’s designated way for all children to learn.
Thirdly, our husbands are supposed to teach us (let your women be silent in church... and learn at home.) we pass from being under the headship of our parents to being under our husbands. This is also God’s ordained plan.
Fourth, “The aged women likewise… That they may teach the young women” older women are to teach younger women. Nowhere in the Bible does it say for women to go to tele- evangelists, famous authors, well known preachers, etc, to learn about their calling in life. You go to older women. Now, God does use our modern books and internet sometimes, but if at all possible, you should find a godly older woman to teach you His ways.
Mat 6:24 No man (or woman) can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God and mammon.
Col 3:22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
The words master, lord, and boss all have the same meanings; the person in charge. This presents a dilemma to the modern woman.

Contemporary English version 5Each of the younger women must be sensible and kind, as well as a good homemaker, who puts her own husband first. Then no one can say insulting things about God's message.
From Strong’s concordance; oikouros {oy-koo-ros'} adj from 3624 and ouros (a guard, be "ware") 1) caring for the house, working at home
a) the (watch or) keeper of the house
b) keeping at home and taking care of
household affairs
c) a domestic
I once got a dog to guard my house. He decided to take to the life of roaming the neighborhood. No matter what we did we could not keep him at home. We ended up getting rid of him because we saw no good in feeding a guard dog that was never home to guard the house.
A woman who is not home can not “guard,” the home any more than my dog could.
