Titus 3:2

Graces of the Heirs of Grace

1 Remind them ^ato be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, ^bto be ready for every good work,

2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.

3 For ^awe ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

<< Titus 3:1

Titus 3:3 >>

To speak evil of no man—especially, not of "dignities" and magistrates.

no brawlers—"not quarrelsome," not attacking others.

gentle—towards those who attack us. Yielding, considerate, not urging one's rights to the uttermost, but forbearing and kindly (see on Philippians 4:5). Very different from the innate greediness and spirit of aggression towards others which characterized the Cretans.

showing—in acts.

all—all possible.

meekness—(See on II Corinthians 10:1); the opposite of passionate severity.

unto all men—The duty of Christian conduct towards all men is the proper consequence of the universality of God's grace to all men, so often set forth in the pastoral Epistles.
