Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Titus 3:5

Not by works of righteousness which we have done; not according to our works, 2 Timothy 1:9, whether ceremonial or moral. But according to his mercy; but from his own bowels freely yearning upon persons in misery. He saved us; he hath put us into a state of, and given us a right to, eternal salvation.

And renewing of the Holy Ghost; the Holy Spirit changing and renewing our... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Titus 3:4-7

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESTitus 3:4. After that the kindness.—The original word (χρηστότης) is a beautiful word for a beautiful grace, pervading and penetrating the whole nature, mellowing there what would have been harsh and austere. Christ’s yoke is said to be easy (χρηστός), i.e. it has nothing galling in it.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Titus 3:1-15

Chapter 3But put them in mind to be subject to the principalities and powers, and to obey the magistrates, and to be ready to every good work ( Titus 3:1 ),So here as in many other places, the Christian is exhorted to obedience to the governmental authorities that are over us. It isn't just when I like what they are doing, but even in those areas that I find very galling to me. Even in areas where I feel they are wrong, I am still to be in subjection to those authorities that have been placed... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Titus 3:1-15

Titus 3:1 . Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers. See on Romans 13:1-2. Titus 3:5 . Not by works of righteousness which we have done. Good works being strongly enforced here, we are cautioned to forget them when performed, for we are saved by grace. The Lord himself will keep the record. According to his mercy he saved us. In other places we read, according to the riches of his glory, according to the fulness of the promises; the grace of God must never be... read more
