Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 2:11

For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,This is a reference to the Incarnation, the First Advent of the Son of God, whose visitation upon our planet came directly and solely from the grace of God. With his birth at Bethlehem, it was appropriate to say that salvation had indeed been brought to all men. As Simeon said:Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace; For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 2:12

instructing us, to the extent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;It is the grace of God (through the gospel) which instructs men regarding those conditions which must be fulfilled by men in order to partake of that grace; and rejection of the instructions is equivalent to the rejection of the grace. Both positively and negatively the conditions are plainly laid out.Denying ungodliness... This refers to the denial... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 2:13

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;Appearing... The two Advents are in Titus 2:11,13. In Titus 2:11, it was the appearing of the grace of God in the First Advent of our Lord, and here it is the final appearing in the Second Advent when Christ will judge the quick and the dead. The first of this twofold epiphany is past, being the earthly life of our Lord; whereas the one in Titus 2:13 is future. It pertains to the glory of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Titus 2:10

Titus 2:10. Not purloining,— Not privately defrauding or embezzling— Μη νοσφιζομενους : which properly signifies keeping back part of the worth of any thing, and is used in the case of Ananias's secreting a part, where the whole was pretended to be returned, Acts 5:2-3. Servants, at least among the Heathens, might probably do this very frequently. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Titus 2:11-12

Titus 2:11-12. For the grace of God—hath appeared, &c.— The word Χαρις properly signifies favour, and in the sacred writings expresses the free and unmerited goodness of God, in sending his only begotten Son to declare his will, and to redeem us from our iniquities by his death. Sometimes the effects of this wonderful kindness of God,—as the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost,—are called grace; and sometimes the gospel itself is expressedby this same word (Colossians 1:6.); in which... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Titus 2:13

Titus 2:13. And the glorious appearing— Even the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour. We may observe, in support of this version, which is perfectly agreeable to the original, that we never read in scripture of the appearance of God the Father; and consequently we have in this text as strong a proof as possible of the true divinity of Jesus Christ. See 2 Peter 1:1. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:10

10. Not purloining—Greek, "Not appropriating" what does not belong to one. It means "keeping back" dishonestly or deceitfully (Acts 5:2; Acts 5:3). showing—manifesting in acts. all—all possible. good—really good; not so in mere appearance (Ephesians 6:5; Ephesians 6:6; Colossians 3:22-24). "The heathen do not judge of the Christian's doctrines from the doctrine, but from his actions and life" [CHRYSOSTOM]. Men will write, fight, and even die for their religion; but how few live for it!... read more

11. the grace of God—God's gratuitous favor in the scheme of redemption. hath appeared—Greek, "hath been made to appear," or "shine forth" (Isaiah 9:2; Luke 1:79). "hath been manifested" (Luke 1:79- :), after having been long hidden in the loving counsels of God (Colossians 1:26; 2 Timothy 1:9; 2 Timothy 1:10). The image is illustrated in Acts 27:20. The grace of God hath now been embodied in Jesus, the brightness of the Father's glory," manifested as the "Sun of righteousness," "the Word made... read more
