Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:12

12. Teaching—Greek, "disciplining us." Grace exercises discipline, and is imparted in connection with disciplining chastisements (1 Corinthians 11:32; Hebrews 12:6; Hebrews 12:7). The education which the Christian receives from "the grace" of God is a discipline often trying to flesh and blood: just as children need disciplining. The discipline which it exercises teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world (Greek, "age,"... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Titus 2:13

13. (Philippians 3:20; Philippians 3:21). Looking for—with constant expectation (so the Greek) and with joy (Philippians 3:21- :). This will prove the antidote to worldly lusts, and the stimulus to "live in this present world" conformably to this expectation. The Greek is translated, "waiting for," in Luke 2:25. that—Greek, "the." blessed—bringing blessedness (Romans 4:7; Romans 4:8). hope—that is, object of hope (Romans 8:24; Galatians 5:5; Colossians 1:5). the glorious appearing—There is but... read more

C. The conduct of the saints 2:1-3:11Having specified the type of men qualified to lead the church, and having pointed out the deficiencies of certain unqualified leaders, Paul turned to discuss the conduct of individual Christians in the churches. He dealt with these instructions by dividing them up among various groups in the church and then reemphasizing what proper behavior for all saints looks like. read more

1. The behavior of various groups in the church 2:1-15To establish order in the church Paul gave Titus instructions concerning the behavior of various groups of Christians that was appropriate for them (cf. 1 Timothy 5:1-2). This involves pastoral oversight."Paul here stresses the importance of building up the inner life of believers as the best antidote against error." [Note: Hiebert, "Titus," p. 435.] "No condition and no period of life is to remain unaffected by the sanctifying influence of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:9-10

Bond-slaves 2:9-10Slaves were known for their readiness to embrace new religions. [Note: Towner, The Letters . . ., p. 735.] For this reason Paul may have given instructions to those of them that had become Christians. Paul’s words to slaves begin with a general request followed by four principles arranged chiastically (positive, negative, negative, positive) the first two of which address attitude and the last two fidelity. [Note: Knight, p. 315.] Believing slaves were (1) to be submissive to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:11

"For" introduces Paul’s full theological reason for requiring the conduct above, why such conduct harmonizes with sound doctrine (Titus 2:1). In short, it is the proper response to God’s grace. God has manifested His grace (unmerited favor) in Christ and the gospel. This has resulted in two things: the possibility of salvation for all and the actual salvation of all who believe in Christ (1 Timothy 2:4; 1 Timothy 2:6; 1 Timothy 4:10)."In the Greek, ’has appeared’ stand emphatically at the... read more

Rationale for such behavior 2:11-14"The previous paragraph [Titus 2:1-10] has been a challenge to the several groups in the Cretan churches to accept the specifically Christian pattern of behavior. Its presuppositions may at first sight seem prosaically humdrum and conventional, but Paul now eloquently reminds Titus that they have their basis in the gospel itself. It was precisely in order to raise men to a higher quality of life that God intervened in history in the incarnation." [Note: Kelly,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:12

When the Christian appreciates this grace it teaches him or her. It instructs us negatively to deny ungodliness, the root problem, and worldly passions, the manifestation of the root problem. These passions are the desires that unbelievers find so appealing but which are not in harmony with God’s character and will, though they are typical of the world system. It instructs us positively to live sensibly (Gr. sophronos; self-controlled inwardly, cf. Titus 2:2; Titus 2:5-6), righteously (Gr.... read more

The blessed hope of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ’s appearing in glory at the Rapture also motivates the sensitive Christian to honor God by his or her behavior now. [Note: See Gary L. Nebeker, "The Theme of Hope in Dispensationalism," Bibliotheca Sacra 158:629 (January-March 2001):30-20.] The Greek verb prosdechomenoi ("looking for") is in the present tense indicating that this waiting should be our characteristic attitude, always ready to welcome the returning Lord. We do not want to... read more
