テトスヘの手紙 2:10-13 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:10

Purloining ( νοσφιζομένους ); literally, separating for their own use what does not belong to them. So Acts 5:2 , Acts 5:3 , " to keep back part." It is used in the same sense by the LXX . Joshua 7:1 of Achan, and 2Ma 4:32 of Menelaus, and occasionally in classical Greek (Xenophon, Polybius, etc.). Showing ( ἐνδεικνυμένους ) . It occurs eleven times in the New Testament, viz. twice in Hebrews, and nine times in St. Paul's acknowledged Epistles. All good fidelity .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:11

Hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, for that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men, A.V. and T.R. Bringing salvation to all men ( σωτήριος ) . The R.T. omits the article ἡ before σωτήριος , which necessitates construing πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις with σωτήριος , "saving to all men" " bringing salvation to all men." With the article ἡ as in the T.R., it may be taken either way, but it is rather more natural to construe πᾶσιν ἀθρώποις with ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:11

Christ for every man. The gospel is universal. It knows nothing of race, or country, or clime. It is the grace of the Father to every child, it reveals the nature of God himself, which is love. I. HERE IS A QUESTION TO BE CONSIDERED . It is said by the apostle that it "has appeared unto all men." Is this so? Are there not multitudes ignorant of the gospel—multitudes who have never heard the joyful sound? Unquestionably. But for all that, it has appeared for all men, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:11-13

The grace of God the true ground of all sanctification. The apostle now sets forth the real foundation on which this exhortation to practical duty on the part of servants, and, indeed, of people of every age and sex, is based. I. THE GRACE OF GOD . "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation to all men hath appeared." 1. This grace is from God, as its eternal Fountain, from which it flows to men. 2. The nature of this grace. (a) The gift is worthy, for it is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:11-15

The soul-culture of the world. "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men," etc. "Taking occasion from what he had just said of the connection between the conduct of Christians and the doctrine they professed to have received, and the connection of both with the glory of God, the apostle proceeds in these verses to ground the whole of his exhortations respecting the behavior of Christians in the essentially moral nature and design of the grace of God, as now... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:12

Instructing for teaching, A.V.; to the intent that for that, A.V.; and righteously for righteously, A.V. Instructing us, to the intent that . This is an unnecessary refinement. Huther is right in saying that the sentence beginning with ἵνα might have been expressed by the infinitive mood, as in 1 Timothy 1:20 , and that we ought to render it not "in order that," but simply "that." The phrase in 1 Timothy 1:20 , ἵνα παιδευθῶσι μὴ βλασφημεῖν , manifestly would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:12

True self-denial. Here we see that the cross of Christ has its influence within ourselves as well as on the moral government of God. We are not left passive in a mere receptivity of blessing; we are actively to co-operate with the Spirit of God in working out our salvation. I. HERE IS SELF - DENIAL . But what are we to deny? Our better selves? No; we are to please our conscience, to satisfy our sense of moral order and beauty, to gratify the spiritual being. All depends,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:13

The for that, A.V.; appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior for the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Savior, A.V. Looking for ( προσδεχόμενοι ); the word commonly applied to waiting for the kingdom of God ( Mark 15:43 ; Luke 2:25 , Luke 2:38 ; Luke 12:36 ; Luke 23:1-56 . 51; Jud 21). The blessed hope. The hope here means the thing hoped for, as in Acts 24:14 (where both the subjective hope and the thing hoped for are included); Galatians... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:13

The coming day. We are to live with a great sky of immortality above us; for no mere secularism has motive power enough to sustain a noble life. It breaks down always through the consciousness that nothing matters much, for death ends all; as the skeptic in Ecclesiastes is supposed to feel when he says, "All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked." I. THE UPWARD LOOK . "Looking for that blessed hope." What is that hope? This—that one day... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:10

Not purloining - Not to appropriate to themselves what belongs to their masters. The word “purloin” means, literally, to take or carry away for oneself; and would be applied to an approbation to oneself of what pertained to a common stock, or what belonged to one in whose employ we are - as the embezzlement of public funds. Here it means that the servant was not to apply to his own use what belonged to his master; that is, was not to pilfer - a vice to which, as all know, servants, and... read more
