テトスへの手紙 2:9-10 JCB

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Titus 2:10

Not defrauding. [3] St. Jerome puts, not stealing. The Greek signifies private thefts. Dr. Wells, not by filching. --- That they may adorn (or give honour to) the doctrine of God, our Saviour, in all things; by whom we may understand God, i.e. Christ, God and Man, or God as common to the three divine persons. (Witham) --- Thus ought they to shew forth in their whole conduct that strict love of justice and sanctity which the Catholic faith inspires into those who profess it, and live up to... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Titus 2:9-10

9,10 Servants must know and do their duty to their earthly masters, with a reference to their heavenly one. In serving an earthly master according to Christ's will, He is served; such shall be rewarded by him. Not giving disrespectful or provoking language; but to take a check or reproof with silence, not making confident or bold replies. When conscious of a fault, to excuse or justify it, doubles it. Never putting to their own use that which is their master's, nor wasting the goods they are... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Titus 2:1-99

Titus 2 HENCE IN THE opening verses of chapter 2 the Apostle turns the thoughts of Titus away from the bishops to those whom we may call the rank and file of the church. There were more bishops than one in each of these early assemblies yet not all elder men were bishops. Consequently there were found aged men who could be addressed as a class by themselves, as also aged women, young women and young men. Instructions suitable to their varying conditions are given as to each class. It is... read more

Titus CHRISTIANS MAKING THE GOSPEL BEAUTIFUL Tit_2:10 THAT is a wonderful hope to hold forth before any man, that he may add beauty to the gospel. And it is still more wonderful when we remember that these words were originally addressed to a handful of slaves - the lowest of the population, whose lives were passed in sordid squalor; whose duties Were narrow and often repulsive, and yet they in their limited sphere and lowly lot might make fairer the truth which is already beautiful with... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Titus 2:9-15

How We May “Adorn the Doctrine” Titus 2:9-15 The servants addressed in this tender and priceless paragraph were household slaves, employed in the most menial drudgery, but they were taught that even they might adorn the Gospel as jewels adorn the brow of beauty. Their holy lives might display and set forth its loveliness. To please one’s superiors, in all things so far as our loyalty to Christ permits, is to commend Christ to our households, and win His approval. The grace of God has ever... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:1-15

The apostle then proceeded to show what the behavior of aged men, aged women, and young men in the Church should be. In connection with the behavior of bond-servants Paul employed what is perhaps the most beautiful description of godly behavior when he said, that "they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things." While it is still only a theory doctrine lacks the manifestation of beauty. When, however, it is realized and manifested in human life its beauty at once appears. The... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Titus 2:1-15

The Blessed Hope Titus 2:1-15 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Second Coming of Christ remains unto this hour as the Blessed Hope. It is the lamp that shineth in a dark place until the day dawns, and the daystar arises in our hearts. When we lose sight of the Blessed Hope of Christ's personal and imminent Return, we leave ourselves in darkness. We might as well turn off the light on a dark night and hope to see clearly, as to turn off the truth of the Lord's Return, and hope to see through the present... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 2:9-10

‘Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing to them in all things; not gainsaying, not purloining, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.’ He is to exhort bondservants to be in proper subjection to their masters. The stronger ‘be in subjection’ as compared with the milder ‘obey’ (Ephesians 6:5; Colossians 3:22) may suggest that there was a tendency in Crete for Christian bondservants to exercise... read more
