Who is thought worthy to deliver something considered better than the reasoning which is presently at work?
Without hearing the truth as the wisdom of the Lords intent which He's sent forth as His only begotten Son, how could one have any hope as the eternal value of His words which have become flesh and dwelt among us?

Isa 1:18-20
"Come now, let us reason together ,"says the LORD.
"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Man can do nothing of real value with the embodiment of his own existence other than righteously re-present the true wisdom of words spoken concerning the living will of His Father in heaven.
Is a man deceived having set his own house on fire to then climbs into bed?
Who it is that truly offended having opened a wound in another with the sword of deception?

"Do as I say not as I do" is rich counsel, yet a poor commentary in the future once faced with the mutual results of the unrighteous choice that's been made.
When the future hopes to remember in a time of need the voice that will speak to where they now find themselves, what will it say?

Whose purpose does any subject serve?
Titus 2:2-15
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
In everything set them an example by doing what is good.
In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope — the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
NIV
