F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Titus 3:1-7

Making Return to God’s Loving-Kindness Titus 3:1-7 Throughout this Epistle, the Apostle insists on good works. See Titus 2:7 ; Titus 2:14 ; Titus 3:8 ; Titus 3:14 . The word good might be rendered beautiful . We must not work to be saved, but being saved we must be ready to every good work, and careful to maintain good works. In this last phrase the Apostle apparently refers to the trades and callings by which his converts were to earn their daily bread. What singular beauty there is in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Titus 3:1-15

The final section of the epistle has to do with the Church and the State, dealing with the duty of the Church, arguments impelling to the fulfilment of duty, and the method of realization. The duty of the Church is to submit to authority, to be ready for every good work, to be free from evil speech, and to be gentle and meek. In order to fulfil these ideals, Christian people should remember their own past, and treat with pity those who are yet “foolish, disobedient, deceived." The threefold... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Titus 3:4

THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE‘The kindness of God our Saviour, and His love toward man,’ Titus 3:4 (R.V.) The message of Christmas affects each of us in different ways at different times, for it deeply concerns our whole humanity. I. It never loses its power.—Men and women whose hearts are untouched by other great facts of Divine revelation feel strangely thrilled as their ears catch the angels’ tidings of the birth of the Virgin’s Son. II. Christmas appeals to the primary instincts of humanity.—It... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Titus 3:5

LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST‘Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.’ Titus 3:5 St. Paul had left Titus in Crete, ‘to set in order the things that were wanting, and to ordain elders in every city,’ as he had appointed him. For his help and guidance, he addressed to him this Epistle, in which he sets forth the conduct he was to maintain, the discipline he was to enforce, and the doctrines he was to teach. In the text there is a clear statement of... read more

SECTION 2. God’s People Must Live In The World As Those Who Are Looking For His Coming, And As Those Who Have Experienced His Saving Work (Titus 2:9 to Titus 3:11 ). Overall Analysis. a Christian bondservants are to be in proper subjection and are to conduct themselves towards their masters in a way that is well-pleasing (Titus 2:9). b They must not be speaking against them or appropriating for themselves what is their master’s (2:10a). c For their behaviour is to be such as will adorn... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 3:4

‘But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,’ And that is why God stepped in. He is the One Who is full of kindness and love in such contrast to what we are (Ephesians 2:4; Ephesians 2:6; John 3:16; Romans 5:8; 1 John 3:16; 1 John 4:8). And as ‘our Saviour’ His kindness (chrestotes - benevolence) and love (philanthropia - love for mankind at large) appeared in Jesus Whom He sent with the greatest gift of all, the ‘drenching in the Holy Spirit’ (Matthew 3:11). He... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 3:5

‘Not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,’ And this work of salvation which He has wrought in us if we are Christians, was not because of any works that we had done in righteousness. It was not deserved in any way. It simply resulted from His compassion and mercy. And it was through ‘the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit’. This does not mean that... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Titus 3:4

Kindness; crhstoths the word signifies one’s easiness to do good to another; that native goodness that is in God, rendering him inclinable to love, and prone to do good unto the sons of men. This was in God from eternity, but appeared in his sending Christ, and then his Spirit, and in the application of Christ’s redemption to particular souls. read more
