Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 3:4

But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,The wretched night of human sin, suffering and shame was pitied by the Father himself; and Paul here related that pitying and loving kindness of God to the rescue of the Christians from the intolerable lives of sin which they formerly lived. John 3:16 is an excellent comment on this verse, for Paul was thinking of how God's kindness and love toward men had "appeared" upon earth in the epic events of the Incarnation and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 3:5

not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,Before taking up a line-by-line analysis of this, it is profitable to glance at other Scriptures which are admitted by scholars to be parallel to the teaching here. Scripture is always the best comment on Scripture.As many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Galatians 3:27).Of this verse, Spence said, "The... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Titus 3:5

Titus 3:5. Not by works of righteousness, &c.— "For it was not by any works of righteousness which we ourselves had done; for any acts of obedience, whether to ceremonial or moral precepts, by which we had made ourselves worthy of his favourable regard; but according to his own mercy, that he saved us from condemnation and ruin, by the washing of regeneration, and therenewing of the Holy Spirit; which, by its purifying influence, operates to turn to God all that will yield to be saved by... read more

4. To show how little reason the Cretan Christians had to be proud of themselves, and despise others not Christians (see on Titus 3:2). It is to the "kindness and love of God," not to their own merits, that they owe salvation. kindness—Greek, "goodness," "benignity," which manifests His grace. love . . . toward man—teaching us to have such "love (benevolence) toward man" (Greek, "philanthropy"), "showing all meekness unto all men" (Titus 3:2- :), even as God had "toward man" (Titus 3:2- :);... read more

5. Not by—Greek, "Out of"; "not as a result springing from works," c. of righteousness—Greek, "in righteousness," that is, wrought "in a state of righteousness": as "deeds . . . wrought in God." There was an utter absence in us of the element ("righteousness") in which alone righteous works could be done, and so necessarily an absence of the works. "We neither did works of righteousness, nor were saved in consequence of them but His goodness did the whole" [THEOPHYLACT]. we—emphatically opposed... read more

Individual responsibility 3:1-8"After a brief exhortation to Titus (Titus 2:15) to ’teach these things’ (at least Titus 2:1-14), Paul returns in this section to the major concern of the letter-’good works’ (i.e., genuinely Christian behavior) for the sake of the outsider (Titus 3:1-8) and in contrast to the false teachers (Titus 3:9-11)."
