Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:11

For the grace of God - The favor of God, shown to the undeserving; see the notes at Romans 1:7.That bringeth salvation - Margin, to all men, hath appeared. That is, in the margin, “the grace which brings salvation to all men has been revealed.” The marginal reading is most in accordance with the Greek, though it will bear either construction. If that which is in the text be adopted, it means that the plan of salvation has been revealed to all classes of men; that is, that it is announced or... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:12

Teaching us - That is, the “grace of God” so teaches us; or that system of religion which is a manifestation of the grace of God, inculcates the great and important duties which Paul proceeds to state.That denying ungodliness and worldly lusts - “That by denying ourselves of these, or refusing to practice them, we should lead a holy life.” The word ungodliness here means all that would be included under the word impiety; that is, all failure in the performance of our proper duties towards God;... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:13

Looking for - Expecting; waiting for. That is, in the faithful performance of our duties to ourselves, to our fellow-creatures, and to God, we are patiently to wait for the coming of our Lord.We are to believe that he will return; We are to be in a posture of expectation, not knowing when he will come; and, We are to be ready for him whenever he shall come; see the Matthew 24:42-44 notes; 1 Thessalonians 5:4 note; Philippians 3:20 note. That blessed hope - The fulfillment of that hope so full... read more

Titus 2:9-10 . Exhort servants See the notes on the passages referred to in the margin. To please them Their masters; well in all things Lawful, or wherein it can be done without sin; not answering again Though blamed unjustly. This honest servants are most apt to do.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Titus 2:1-10

2:1-3:15 CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR AND ITS BASISDifferent people in the church (2:1-10)The best way to resist wrong teaching is to give positive instruction in Christian doctrine and its moral application. This will produce spiritual growth and right behaviour in all groups alike, regardless of age or social background. Older men, for instance, should set an example of a well balanced Christian life (2:1-2). Older women also should be a good example. If their lives are free of such bad habits as... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Titus 2:11-15

God’s grace changes lives (2:11-3:11)People are saved only by God’s grace - that loving and merciful attitude of God that freely gives his immeasurable blessings to those who do not deserve them. When people accept the salvation that this grace brings, they learn that their most fitting response is to turn from their former sinful ways and follow the ways of God. They have a desire for holiness, and this desire is increased by their anticipation of Christ’s return (11-13). Christ died not... read more
