Verse 6
Likewise urge the young men to be sensible;
Sensible
Here again we see the word sensible. This word sophroneo has been applied to each of the groups thus far. It is obviously something that is very important, and very necessary in terms of exhibiting the life of Christ in us. Once again, it combines the words for “wisdom” and “mindedness, or mindset.” The very nature of the mindset should be one that is wise and balanced. This comes from having a solid Biblical perspective, and the ability to apply that knowledge to every situation. It has a circumspect view that sees what is going on and can make wise choices based on God's wisdom and submission to the Word and the Holy Spirit.
