L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 1:1-16

Paul writes both as a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, so that in the epistle considerate care is mingled with firm authority. His basis of writing is, first, the faith of God's elect; that is, the whole range of the Christian revelation, that which is the common property of those elect of God, and which attaches them both to God and to one another. The individual (Titus) cannot be separated from this. And secondly, "the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness."... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Titus 1:1-16

HIS COMMISSION The epistle to Titus was written prior to 2 Timothy. Alford, and others, suppose that after Paul’s liberation from prison (see Acts 28:0 ), he journeyed eastward as anticipated in Philemon 1:22 and Philippians 1:26 ; Philippians 2:24 , visiting Ephesus again. Other journeys to the West followed, occupying three or four years, during which time, he visited Crete in company with Titus, leaving him there to complete the organization of the church in that neighborhood. This... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Titus 1:1-16

Chapter 1 1 For what end Titus was left in Crete. 6 How they that are to be chosen ministers ought to be qualified. 11 The mouths of evil teachers to be stopped; 12 and what manner of men they be. 1. Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ [in the other two so-called Pastoral Epistles addressed to Timothy, St. Paul simply styles himself an Apostle of Jesus Christ], according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness [more... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Titus 1:4-11

(4) To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. (5) ¶ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: (6) ¶ If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. (7) For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Titus 1:10-16

10-16 False teachers are described. Faithful ministers must oppose such in good time, that their folly being made manifest, they may go no further They had a base end in what they did; serving a worldly interest under pretence of religion: for the love of money is the root of all evil. Such should be resisted, and put to shame, by sound doctrine from the Scriptures. Shameful actions, the reproach of heathens, should be far from Christians; falsehood and lying, envious craft and cruelty, brutal... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Titus 1:1-99

Titus 1 PAUL ADDRESSES TITUS in verse Tit_1:4 but before doing so he points out the characteristic features of his apostleship and service in a series of short and pithy statements. It was “according to the faith of God’s elect.” Speaking in a general way we may say that the preposition “according to” indicates character. What characterized his apostleship was the faith, and also the truth which is “after” or “according to” godliness. There are all too many nowadays claiming to be ministers of... read more

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision, v. 11. whose mouths must be stopped; who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. v. 12. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. v. 13. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them... read more
