For there are many unruly Subject to no order; and vain talkers Ματαιολογοι , persons who utter a multitude of foolish and trifling things, especially concerning genealogies and fables; and deceivers Φρεναπαται , deceived in their own minds, or deceivers of the minds of others; who delude their disciples with false opinions, in order to reconcile their consciences to wicked practices; specially they of the circumcision Namely, the Jewish teachers, who, though converted... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Titus 1:1-16

1:1-16 THE NEED FOR ELDERSGod appointed Paul to be a preacher of the gospel, but Paul knows that this work involves more than merely the announcement of a message. God has chosen sinners to be his people, and Paul’s first aim is to present the gospel in such a way that he can lead these people to eternal life. More than that, Paul wants to go on and instruct them in the Christian truth, so that they might develop practical godliness in their lives. His writing to Titus in Crete is in accordance... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 1:11

whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.Whose mouths must be stopped ... Here is ample authority for the elders of the church to exercise decisive control over the teaching from their pulpits, or even privately. The widespread notion that congregations should democratically hear any kind of teaching that comes along is incorrect. Purity of a church demands that the fountain from which it drinks must be pure.... read more

II. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING THE CHURCH IN ORDER 1:5-3:11As in 1 Timothy, Paul plunged into the business of his letter immediately since he was writing a trusted colleague. This partially explains the absence of a thanksgiving section in these two epistles. The serious threat of false teaching may be another reason. By contrast, 2 Timothy is more personal, and it contains a thanksgiving. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 1:10-11

Paul characterized the false teachers as rebellious (against God’s truth) and empty talkers; their words were only human opinion rather than God’s Word. He also said they were deceivers. [Note: See López.] Their listeners expected that what they were teaching was the truth, but it was not. Such men existed especially among the Jews, perhaps orthodox Jews, but mainly among Jewish Christians. Many Jews lived on the island of Crete. [Note: Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, 17:12:1.] Titus... read more

B. The correction of false teachers 1:10-16Paul emphasized the need to guard the church against false teaching to inform Titus how to deal with the problems false teachers create. The instructions in this pericope naturally grew out of Paul’s emphasis on the elder’s responsibility to handle the Scriptures accurately and to correct those who misrepresent them (Titus 1:9). read more

Greeting. Directions For Organising the Cretan Church1-16. ’Paul an Apostle, to Titus his own son in the faith. In appointing elders in the towns of Crete, see to their character, and be sure that they keep the faith. There are Judaisers in the island, and the Cretans are liars; so Church officers must be especially careful that their discourse may be sound.’1. Paul, a servant of God] St. Paul does not elsewhere use this designation in his superscriptions; so an imitator would be unlikely to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Titus 1:11

(11)Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses.—The translation should run here, seeing they subvert, &c. There was, indeed, grave cause why these men should be put to silence; the mischief they were doing in Crete to the Christian cause was incalculable. It was no longer individuals that their poisonous teaching affected, but they were undermining the faith of whole families. For an example how Titus and his presbyters were to stop the mouths of these teachers of what was... read more
