First, I'd bring PAREXOMENOS over into v.8 and make LOGON hUGIH AKATAGNWSTON its direct object: Titus is to present himself an example of good works and present the word to his congregation. It's possible also to understand the phrase beginning with EN as linked primarily to the clause about presenting the word: "In your teaching presenting a sound, incontrovertible message..." The accusative nouns are difficult to place, but they could be accusatives of respect modifying the same implicit verb, "In your teaching, with integrity and dignity presenting a sound, incontrovertible message..."
