Titus 2:6 KJV,ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Titus 2:1-10

Here is the third thing in the matter of the epistle. In the chapter foregoing, the apostle had directed Titus about matters of government, and to set in order the things that were wanting in the churches. Now here he exhorts him, I. Generally, to a faithful discharge of his own office. His ordaining others to preach would not excuse himself from preaching, nor might he take care of ministers and elders only, but he must instruct private Christians also in their duty. The adversative particle... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Titus 2:1-10

(1) The Senior Men ( Titus 2:1-2 ) 2:1-2 You must speak what befits sound teaching. You must charge the senior men to be sober, serious, prudent, healthy in Christian faith and love and fortitude. This whole chapter deals with what might be called The Christian Character in Action. It takes people by their various ages and stations and lays down what they ought to be within the world. It begins with the senior men. They must be sober. The word is nephalios ( Greek #3524 ), and it... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Titus 2:6

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. Temperate, chaste, modest, moderate, wise, and prudent in all things: this is said to Titus, as being his province to instruct and exhort the young men; as it were proper and convenient for aged women to teach the young women how they should behave and conduct themselves. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 2:6

Young men - exhort to be sober-minded - Reformation should begin with the old; they have the authority, and they should give the example. The young of both sexes must also give an account of themselves to God; sober-mindedness in young men is a rare qualification, and they who have it not plunge into excesses and irregularities which in general sap the foundation of their constitution, bring on premature old age, and not seldom lead to a fatal end. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 2:6

Verse 6 6Exhort likewise younger men He merely enjoins that young men be instructed to be temperate; for temperance, as Plato shows, cures the whole understanding of man. It is as if he had said, “Let them be well regulated and obedient to reason.” read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:1-10

Genuine morality. "But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine," etc. Paul, having given Titus directions as to the organization of a Christian Church in Crete, and changed him to contend against those who, in the name of Christianity, propagated doctrines at variance both with the truths and the spirit of the gospel, here urges that genuine morality which should be the grand aim and tendency of all gospel preaching. The grand subject presented in this passage is genuine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:1-15

Practical godliness the end of spiritual doctrine. The teaching of St. Paul soars very high in respect of the hidden things of God. To none of the apostles were given more abundant revelations of heavenly mysteries. Caught up into the third heaven, hearing unspeakable words, saturated with gifts of the Holy Ghost, he was able to lead men's souls into depths and heights of unseen things as no other teacher was. His eloquent tongue, pouring forth the riches of knowledge of an enlightened... read more

The younger for young, A.V. The younger (see 1 Peter 5:5 , where, however, the νεώτεροι are contrasted with the πρεσβύτεροι , as in 1 Timothy 5:1 ; here with πρεσβύτας in 1 Timothy 5:2 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:6

The duty of young men. The apostle next thinks of those who are to be the strong stays of the Church in the coming generation. "Young men exhort to be sober-minded." I. THE NATURE OF THIS DUTY . 1. Young men ought to be thoughtful, not rash and impulsive. The Lord says to them, "Consider your ways." 2. They should be circumspect, not heady and reckless, using that Word which "giveth to the young man knowledge and discretion." 3. They should not be... read more
