Study Lenses

The verse centers on "all things", "good works", "show", "yourself", "model", "purity", and "doctrine". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "good works", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 6's "Likewise urge the younger men to be..." into verse 8's "sound in word which is irreproachable so...", so "all things" and "good works" belong inside that flow. In Titus context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "all things" and "good works" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
