Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:11

For the grace of God - The favor of God, shown to the undeserving; see the notes at Romans 1:7.That bringeth salvation - Margin, to all men, hath appeared. That is, in the margin, “the grace which brings salvation to all men has been revealed.” The marginal reading is most in accordance with the Greek, though it will bear either construction. If that which is in the text be adopted, it means that the plan of salvation has been revealed to all classes of men; that is, that it is announced or... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Titus 2:11-15

God’s grace changes lives (2:11-3:11)People are saved only by God’s grace - that loving and merciful attitude of God that freely gives his immeasurable blessings to those who do not deserve them. When people accept the salvation that this grace brings, they learn that their most fitting response is to turn from their former sinful ways and follow the ways of God. They have a desire for holiness, and this desire is increased by their anticipation of Christ’s return (11-13). Christ died not... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 2:11

For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,This is a reference to the Incarnation, the First Advent of the Son of God, whose visitation upon our planet came directly and solely from the grace of God. With his birth at Bethlehem, it was appropriate to say that salvation had indeed been brought to all men. As Simeon said:Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace; For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Titus 2:11-12

Titus 2:11-12. For the grace of God—hath appeared, &c.— The word Χαρις properly signifies favour, and in the sacred writings expresses the free and unmerited goodness of God, in sending his only begotten Son to declare his will, and to redeem us from our iniquities by his death. Sometimes the effects of this wonderful kindness of God,—as the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost,—are called grace; and sometimes the gospel itself is expressedby this same word (Colossians 1:6.); in which... read more

11. the grace of God—God's gratuitous favor in the scheme of redemption. hath appeared—Greek, "hath been made to appear," or "shine forth" (Isaiah 9:2; Luke 1:79). "hath been manifested" (Luke 1:79- :), after having been long hidden in the loving counsels of God (Colossians 1:26; 2 Timothy 1:9; 2 Timothy 1:10). The image is illustrated in Acts 27:20. The grace of God hath now been embodied in Jesus, the brightness of the Father's glory," manifested as the "Sun of righteousness," "the Word made... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:1-11

C. The conduct of the saints 2:1-3:11Having specified the type of men qualified to lead the church, and having pointed out the deficiencies of certain unqualified leaders, Paul turned to discuss the conduct of individual Christians in the churches. He dealt with these instructions by dividing them up among various groups in the church and then reemphasizing what proper behavior for all saints looks like. read more

1. The behavior of various groups in the church 2:1-15To establish order in the church Paul gave Titus instructions concerning the behavior of various groups of Christians that was appropriate for them (cf. 1 Timothy 5:1-2). This involves pastoral oversight."Paul here stresses the importance of building up the inner life of believers as the best antidote against error." [Note: Hiebert, "Titus," p. 435.] "No condition and no period of life is to remain unaffected by the sanctifying influence of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:11

"For" introduces Paul’s full theological reason for requiring the conduct above, why such conduct harmonizes with sound doctrine (Titus 2:1). In short, it is the proper response to God’s grace. God has manifested His grace (unmerited favor) in Christ and the gospel. This has resulted in two things: the possibility of salvation for all and the actual salvation of all who believe in Christ (1 Timothy 2:4; 1 Timothy 2:6; 1 Timothy 4:10)."In the Greek, ’has appeared’ stand emphatically at the... read more
