The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Titus 2:1-15

Chapter 2 1 Directions given unto Titus both for his doctrine and life. 9 Of the duty of servants, and in general of all Christians. 1. But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2. That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate [discreet, or self-restrained], sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3. The angel women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becomes holiness, not false accusers [not slanderers], not given to much wine [this warning was probably called for owing to... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Titus 2:11-15

11-15 The doctrine of grace and salvation by the gospel, is for all ranks and conditions of men. It teaches to forsake sin; to have no more to do with it. An earthly, sensual conversation suits not a heavenly calling. It teaches to make conscience of that which is good. We must look to God in Christ, as the object of our hope and worship. A gospel conversation must be a godly conversation. See our duty in a very few words; denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, living soberly, righteously, and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Titus 2:1-99

Titus 2 HENCE IN THE opening verses of chapter 2 the Apostle turns the thoughts of Titus away from the bishops to those whom we may call the rank and file of the church. There were more bishops than one in each of these early assemblies yet not all elder men were bishops. Consequently there were found aged men who could be addressed as a class by themselves, as also aged women, young women and young men. Instructions suitable to their varying conditions are given as to each class. It is... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Titus 2:11-12

Titus THE SCHOOL OF GRACE Tit_2:11-12 . THE Apostle has been giving fatherly admonitions as to very elementary pieces of morality, addressed to both sexes, and to all ages. He winds up with inculcating on Christian slaves some obvious duties, such as obedience and honesty. In my text he bases all these on what was to him the motive and the power for all sorts of righteous living - viz., the fact of Christ’s mission. The ‘for’ with which my text begins carries with it the whole relation... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Titus 2:9-15

How We May “Adorn the Doctrine” Titus 2:9-15 The servants addressed in this tender and priceless paragraph were household slaves, employed in the most menial drudgery, but they were taught that even they might adorn the Gospel as jewels adorn the brow of beauty. Their holy lives might display and set forth its loveliness. To please one’s superiors, in all things so far as our loyalty to Christ permits, is to commend Christ to our households, and win His approval. The grace of God has ever... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:1-15

The apostle then proceeded to show what the behavior of aged men, aged women, and young men in the Church should be. In connection with the behavior of bond-servants Paul employed what is perhaps the most beautiful description of godly behavior when he said, that "they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things." While it is still only a theory doctrine lacks the manifestation of beauty. When, however, it is realized and manifested in human life its beauty at once appears. The... read more
