디도서 3:13-15 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Titus 3:9-15

Here is the fifth and last thing in the matter of the epistle: what Titus should avoid in teaching; how he should deal with a heretic; with some other directions. Observe, I. That the apostle's meaning might be more clear and full, and especially fitted to the time and state of things in Crete, and the many judaizers among them, he tells Titus what, in teaching, he should shun, Titus 3:9. There are needful questions to be discussed and cleared, such as make for improvement in useful knowledge;... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Titus 3:12-15

3:12-15 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. Do your best to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way. See to it that nothing is lacking to them. And let our people too learn to practise fine deeds, that they may be able to supply all necessary needs, and that they may not live useless lives. All who are with me send you their greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Titus 3:13

Bring Zenas the lawyer ,.... Whether he was brought up to the civil law, either among the Greeks or Romans, is not certain; it may be he was a Jewish lawyer, or scribe, an interpreter of Moses's law among the Jews; for with them a lawyer and a scribe were one and the same, as appears from Matthew 22:35 compared with Mark 12:28 and the Syriac version here calls him "a scribe", and the Ethiopic version "a scribe of the city"; which looks as if it was a civil office he bore; but however, be... read more

And let ours also learn to maintain good works ,.... By which are not only meant honest trades, as some choose to render the words: it is true, that a trade is a work; and an honest lawful employment of life is a good work; and which ought to be maintained, attended to, and followed, and to be learnt, in order to be followed. The Jews say, that he that does not teach his son a trade, it is all one as if he taught him to rob or steal; hence their doctors were brought up to trades; See Gill on... read more

All that are with me salute thee ,.... All the apostles, fellow labourers, and the ministers of the Gospel that were with him; and all the members of the church where he was, sent their Christian salutation to Titus; he being a person greatly esteemed, and whose praise was in all the churches: greet them that love us in the faith ; not merely as men, as their countrymen, as related to them in the flesh; or on account of any external things, but as believers; because of the doctrine of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 3:13

Bring Zenas the lawyer - This person is only mentioned in this place; whether he was a Jewish, Roman, or Greek lawyer, we cannot tell. And Apollos - Of this person we have some valuable particulars in Acts 18:24 ; 1 Corinthians 1:12 ; 1 Corinthians 3:5 , 1 Corinthians 3:6 ; 1 Corinthians 4:6 . Either St. Paul had left these at Crete when he visited that island, or he had heard that, in their evangelical itinerancy, they were about to pass through it. On their journey... read more

And let others also learn to maintain good works - There is something very remarkable in this expression. The words καλων εργων προΐστασθαι , which we translate to maintain good works, occur also in Titus 3:8 ; and some think they mean, to provide for our own, and the necessities of others, by working at some honest occupation; and that this was necessary to be taught to the Cretans, let Ours also learn, etc., who were naturally and practically idle gluttons. Kypke observed that the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 3:15

All that are with me - He means his companions in the ministry. Salute thee - Wish thee well, and desire to be affectionately remembered to thee. Greet them that love us in the faith, - All that love us for Christ's sake, and all that are genuine Christians. Grace be with you - May the Divine favor be your portion for ever. Some MSS. read, The grace of the Lord be with you all; others, The grace of God be with you all; and one, Grace be with Thy spirit, as if the greeting was... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 3:13

Verse 13 13Zenas a lawyer It is uncertain whether “Zenas”, was a Doctor of the Civil Law or of the Law of Moses; but as we may learn from Paul’s words that he was a poor man and needed the help of others, it is probable that he belonged to the same rank with Apollo, that is, an expounder of the Law of God among the Jews. It more frequently happens that such persons are in want of the necessaries of life than those who conduct causes in civil courts. I have said that Zenas’s poverty may be... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 3:14

Verse 14 14And let ours also learn to excel in good works. (268) That the Cretans, on whom he lays this burden, may not complain of being loaded with the expense, he reminds them that they must not be unfruitful, and that therefore they must be warmly exhorted to be zealous in good works. But of this mode of expression we have already spoken. Whether, therefore, he enjoins them to excel in good works, or to assign the highest rank to good works, he means that it is useful for them to have an... read more
