Titus 2:15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
The wrong way to look at the end of this chapter would be to think we should beat anyone who despises you for what you are trying to teach them. No, Jesus said to turn the other cheek (Mat 5:39).
Look at the last phrase this way... teach in such a way they will not have anything bad to say against you. In fact, you must also live in such a way that they see you living out what you teach. It is not do as I say not as I do style of teaching. Daughters, you must be above reproach. This you can do!
