Inner Household Teachings
Titus 2:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Titus 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Titus 2:4-6 instructs older women to teach younger women to be sober, to love their husbands and children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, and obedient to their own husbands, while young men are urged to be sober-minded.
Neville's Inner Vision
To me you are not reading a rule about outward conduct, but a map of inner states. The 'older women' and their tasks are the inner dispositions that govern a mind in harmony: sobriety, love, discretion, chastity, and steady service. When you assume the role of the elder teacher in your own consciousness, you align your thoughts, emotions, and actions to create a home within—the ordered atmosphere where ideas can grow without blasphemy. The 'home' is not a place you go; it is the state you inhabit. To be a keeper at home means to keep your interior environment stable—thoughts disciplined, desires yoked to purpose, and speech reflecting truth. Obedience to one's own husband becomes obedience to your higher self or inner purpose, not subjugation; it is the unity of intent that prevents the Word of God from becoming mere talk. The exhortation to sober-minded young men is a call to steady their impulse and cultivate a mind that can birth reliable outcomes. By inwardly embodying these states and feeling them real, you naturally manifest them in your world.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the inner elder; feel yourself embody sober love and discreet conduct, and imagine the Word of God becoming living form in your daily life.
