Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:1

1. But . . . thou—in contrast to the reprobate seducers stigmatized in Titus 1:11; Titus 1:15; Titus 1:16. "He deals more in exhortations, because those intent on useless questions needed chiefly to be recalled to the study of a holy, moral life; for nothing so effectually allays men's wandering curiosity, as the being brought to recognize those duties in which they ought to exercise themselves" [CALVIN]. speak—without restraint: contrast Titus 1:11, "mouths . . . stopped."... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:2

2. sober—Translated "vigilant," as sober men alone can be ( :-). But "sober" here answers to "not given to wine," Titus 2:3; Titus 1:7. grave—"dignified"; behaving with reverent propriety. temperate—"self-restrained"; "discreet" [ALFORD], (Titus 1:8; 1 Timothy 2:9). faith . . . charity [love] . . . patience—combined in 1 Timothy 2:9- :. "Faith, hope, charity" (1 Timothy 2:9- :). "Patience," Greek, "enduring perseverance," is the attendant on, and is supported by, "hope" (1 Corinthians 13:7; 1... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:3

3. behaviour—"deportment." as becometh holiness—"as becometh women consecrated to God" [WAHL]: being by our Christian calling priestesses unto God (Ephesians 5:3; 1 Timothy 2:10). "Observant of sacred decorum" [BENGEL]. not false accusers—not slanderers: a besetting sin of some elderly women. given to much wine—the besetting sin of the Cretans (1 Timothy 2:10- :). Literally, "enslaved to much wine." Addiction to wine is slavery (Romans 6:16; 2 Peter 2:19). teachers—in private: not in public (1... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:4

4. to be sober—Greek, "self-restrained," "discreet"; the same Greek as in Titus 2:2, "temperate." (But see on Titus 2:2; compare Note, Titus 2:2- :). ALFORD therefore translates, "That they school (admonish in their duty) the young women to be lovers of their husbands," &c. (the foundation of all domestic happiness). It was judicious that Titus, a young man, should admonish the young women, not directly, but through the older women. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:5

5. keepers at home—as "guardians of the house," as the Greek expresses. The oldest manuscripts read, "Workers at home": active in household duties (Proverbs 7:11; 1 Timothy 5:13). good—kind, beneficent (Matthew 20:15; Romans 5:7; 1 Peter 2:18). Not churlish and niggardly, but thrifty as housewives. obedient—rather "submissive," as the Greek is translated; (see on 1 Peter 2:18- :; 1 Peter 2:18- :). their own—marking the duty of subjection which they owe them, as being their own husbands... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:6

6. Young—Greek, "The younger men." sober-minded—self-restrained [ALFORD]. "Nothing is so hard at this age as to overcome pleasures and follies" [CHRYSOSTOM]. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:7

7. In—with respect to all things. thyself a pattern—though but a young man thyself. All teaching is useless unless the teacher's example confirm his word. in doctrine—in thy ministerial teaching (showing) uncorruptness, that is, untainted purity of motive on thy part (compare :-), so as to be "a pattern" to all. As "gravity," c., refers to Titus himself, so "uncorruptness" though, doubtless, uncorruptness of the doctrine will be sure to follow as a consequence of the Christian minister being... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:8

8. speech—discourse in public and private ministrations. he that is of the contrary part—the adversary (Titus 1:9; 2 Timothy 2:25), whether he be heathen or Jew. may be ashamed—put to confusion by the power of truth and innocence (compare Titus 2:5; Titus 2:10; 1 Timothy 5:14; 1 Timothy 6:1). no evil thing—in our acts, or demeanor. of you—So one of the oldest manuscripts. Other very old manuscripts read, "of US," Christians. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:9

9. servants—"slaves." to please them well—"to give satisfaction" [ALFORD]. To be complaisant in everything; to have that zealous desire to gain the master's goodwill which will anticipate the master's wish and do even more than is required. The reason for the frequent recurrence of injunctions to slaves to subjection (Ephesians 6:5-8; Colossians 3:22; 1 Timothy 6:1; 1 Timothy 6:2; 1 Peter 2:18) was, that in no rank was there more danger of the doctrine of the spiritual equality and freedom of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:10

10. Not purloining—Greek, "Not appropriating" what does not belong to one. It means "keeping back" dishonestly or deceitfully (Acts 5:2; Acts 5:3). showing—manifesting in acts. all—all possible. good—really good; not so in mere appearance (Ephesians 6:5; Ephesians 6:6; Colossians 3:22-24). "The heathen do not judge of the Christian's doctrines from the doctrine, but from his actions and life" [CHRYSOSTOM]. Men will write, fight, and even die for their religion; but how few live for it!... read more
