How are we to know what ungodly is? How are we to know what HE sees as righteous? What is God's idea of Godly?
How do we know what good works are?
Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Tit 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
How are we to know, except by what HE has already provided. We have to remember, these letters were in their inception, letters to the churches, they were not yet made into book form. So we can't say they knew that the answers to these question are answered in the "New" Testament, for at the time Paul wrote this letter, there was not yet, a "New" Testament.
