SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:6
Exhorta asimismo a los jvenes a que sean templados;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Titus 2:6
Verse 6. Young men-exhort to be sober-minded.] Reformation should begin with the old; they have the authority, and they should give the example. The young of both sexes must also give an account of themselves to God; sober-mindedness in young men is a rare qualification, and they who have it not plunge into excesses and irregularities which in general sap the foundation of their constitution, bring on premature old age, and not seldom lead to a fatal end.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded .] Temperate, chaste, modest, moderate, wise, and prudent in all things: this is said to Titus, as being his province to instruct and exhort the young men; as it were proper and convenient for aged women to teach the young women how they should behave and conduct themselves.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Old disciples of Christ must behave in every thing agreeably to the Christian doctrine. That the aged men be sober; not thinking that the decays of nature will justify any excess; but seeking comfort from nearer communion with God, not from any undue indulgence. Faith work by, and must be seen in love, of God for himself, and of men for God' sake. Aged persons are apt to be peevish and fretful; therefore need to be on their guard. Though there is not express Scripture for ever word, or look, yet there are general rules, according to which all mus be ordered. Young women must be sober and discreet; for many expos themselves to fatal temptations by what at first might be only want of discretion. The reason is added, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Failures in duties greatly reproach Christianity. Young me are apt to be eager and thoughtless, therefore must be earnestly calle upon to be sober-minded: there are more young people ruined by prid than by any other sin. Every godly man's endeavour must be to stop the mouths of adversaries. Let thine own conscience answer for thin uprightness. What a glory is it for a Christian, when that mouth whic would fain open itself against him, cannot find any evil in him to speak of!

Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:6 {The younger men} (tous newterous). Just one item, besides "likewise" (hosautws as in #3; 1Ti 2,9), "to be soberminded" (s"phronein, old verb as in #Rom 12:3). It is possible to take "in all things" (peri panta) with s"phronein, though the editors take it with verse #7.
