Titus 1:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Titus 1:10

8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled,

9 holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

The Elders’ Task

10 For there are many insubordinate, both idle ^atalkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

11 whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, ^afor the sake of dishonest gain.

12 ^aOne of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”

13 This testimony is true. ^aTherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and ^acommandments of men who turn from the truth.

15 ^aTo the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

16 They profess to ^aknow God, but ^bin works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, ^cand disqualified for every good work.
