What are the negative instructions given to aged women?

Answered in 1 source

Aged women are instructed not to be false accusers or given to much wine.

In Titus 2:3-4, Paul gives two negative instructions for the behavior of aged women: they are not to be false accusers and not to be given to much wine. This serves as a reminder that their speech and habits must reflect the holiness inherent in their new identity in Christ. Being a false accuser—slandering or gossiping—detracts not only from their witness but also from the unity of the church. Similarly, the prohibition against excessive wine emphasizes the importance of self-control, ensuring that they remain concentrated on teaching and ministering to others rather than being distracted by vices.
