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

if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.This list of the qualifications of elders is substantially the same as that given to Timothy (1 Timothy 3:1ff); and that list with the comments should be noted in connection with what is written here.Blameless ... means "above reproach," and is an inclusive term that appears to blanket the whole list of checkpoints enumerated.Husband of one wife ...

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 1:7

For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;The bishop ... Paul's use of the singular noun here has given rise to all kinds of speculations; but Paul never intended to imply by this that only one bishop was needed for the oversight of a church or churches. The meaning here is "any bishop." As Hendriksen said, "The hierarchical idea of several `priests' and their `parishes' being outranked and governed by... read more

but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;"The absence here of any unusual or exceptional qualities shows again the realistic approach of the apostle."[20] Upright, honest, clean family men are those to be sought out and appointed. However, the words "just and holy" indicate that they must also be God-fearing, righteous, and deeply devoted to holy religion. Any "nice fellow" is not necessarily elder material.Given to hospitality ... For special comment... read more

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.As DeWelt noted, "This has been taken by many to be a commentary on 1 Timothy 3:2, in which Paul states that the elder must be `apt to teach'";[21] and that view would appear to be correct. The primary duty of elders, namely, that of watching over and protecting the flock of God, requires that they be students of the holy Scriptures, having a... read more
