Titus 3:15 NIV

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 Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Titus 3:15

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 3:15

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 3:8-15

Pearls before swine. There is in some a habit of mind utterly out of harmony with the Word of God. It is not that dogmas, or creeds, or ceremonies are despised and forgotten by them, as they usually are by the pleasure-seeking or moneymaking world. On the contrary, these things are often in their minds and upon their lips. But they handle everything, not with a view to growth in goodness, not with a view to the formation within of a humble, pure, and holy character, but merely as matters... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 3:9-15

The worthless, the pernicious, and the desirable in social life. "But avoid foolish questions," etc. The text brings under our attention three things. I. THE AVOIDANCE OF THE WORTHLESS IN SOCIAL LIFE . "Avoid foolish questions and genealogies." The "questions" and "genealogies" are referred to in 1 Timothy 1:4 . The apostle characterizes them as foolish because they were of an utterly impractical nature, and consumed time and powers which were needed for other and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Titus 3:15

Salute for greet, A.V.; faith for the faith, A.V. That love us in faith has no sense. "The faith" is right (see 1 Timothy 1:2 , note). Grace be with you all. So, with slight varieties, end St. Paul's other Epistles. The T.R. has Amen, as have most of the other Epistles. read more

Salutation and conclusion. "All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen." I. MARK HOW THE EPISTLE , WHICH BEGAN WITH THE FAITH OF GOD 'S ELECT , ENDS WITH GRACE AND LOVE . II. MARK THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED BY GRACE BETWEEN THE WIDELY SCATTERED MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH . They are one holy, happy family, united by love. The threefold repetition of the word... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Titus 3:15

All that are with me salute thee - Notes, Romans 16:3. Paul, at the close of his epistles, usually mentions the names of those who sent affectionate salutations. Here it would seem to be implied that Titus knew who were with Paul, and also that he himself had been traveling with him. He evidently refers not to those who were residing in the place where he was, but to those who had gone with him from Crete as his companions.Greet them that love us in the faith - In the faith of the gospel, or as... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Titus 3:13-15

Titus 3:13-15. Bring Or send forward; Zenas the lawyer Zenas is mentioned in this passage only, and called νομικον , the lawyer, because, according to Jerome’s interpretation, which is also that of Dr. Benson, he had formerly been a teacher of the law among the Jews; see Matthew 22:35, where the same appellation is given to one of that profession. He might possibly, however, as others think, be a Roman lawyer; and Apollos It is probable that Zenas and Apollos were to pass through... read more
