Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:11

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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:12

12. Teaching—Greek, "disciplining us." Grace exercises discipline, and is imparted in connection with disciplining chastisements (1 Corinthians 11:32; Hebrews 12:6; Hebrews 12:7). The education which the Christian receives from "the grace" of God is a discipline often trying to flesh and blood: just as children need disciplining. The discipline which it exercises teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world (Greek, "age,"... read more

13. (Philippians 3:20; Philippians 3:21). Looking for—with constant expectation (so the Greek) and with joy (Philippians 3:21- :).

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:14

14. gave himself—"The forcible 'Himself, His whole self, the greatest gift ever given,' must not be overlooked." for us—Greek, "in our behalf." redeem us—deliver us from bondage by paying the price of His precious blood. An appropriate image in addressing bond-servants (Titus 2:9; Titus 2:10): from all iniquity—the essence of sin, namely, "transgression of the law": in bondage to which we were till then. The aim of His redemption was to redeem us, not merely from the penalty, but from the being... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:15

15. with all authority—Translate, "authoritativeness" (compare "sharply," :-). Let no man despise thee—Speak with such vigor as to command respect ( :-). Warn them with such authority that no one may think himself above (so the Greek literally) the need of admonition [TITTMANN, Greek Synonyms of the New Testament]. read more

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

Introductory charge 2:1This verse introduces the instructions concerning individual conduct that follow. In contrast to the false teachers, Titus was to teach the believers conduct that was in harmony with sound (i.e., healthy) doctrine (cf. 1 Timothy 1:10; 1 Timothy 6:3; 2 Timothy 1:13; 2 Timothy 4:3; Titus 1:9; Titus 1:13; Titus 2:2). Paul wanted Christians to behave consistently with what they profess to believe. The primary motivation Paul used in the advice to follow is that these... read more

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:1-15

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."

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

Older men 2:2Titus was to remind older men to be temperate (Gr. nephalious; sober, vigilant, clear-headed; 1 Timothy 3:2), dignified (Gr. semnous; worthy of respect, serious-minded rather than clowns), and sensible (Gr. sophronas; self-controlled; 1 Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:8; Titus 2:5). These characteristics are all marks of maturity (cf. 1 Corinthians 13:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:3). They should also be godly. This means being sound in faith (Gr. hygiainontas te pistei; trust in God rather than... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:3

Older women 2:3These women were also to give evidence of their reverence for God in their behavior. Negatively they should avoid malicious gossip (Gr. me diabolous; slandering others; 1 Timothy 3:11; 1 Timothy 5:13-14) and dependence on enslaving substances such as wine (Gr. mede oino pollo dedoulomenas; 1 Timothy 3:8). Positively they should teach what is good (Gr. kalodidaskalous) by deed as well as word and encourage the younger women to fulfill their responsibilities (Titus 2:4 a)."We have... read more
