Titus 1:8 — KJV

Commentary

Commentary on Titus 1:8

Theological / Devotional

Hospitality. See on 1 Tim. 3:2.

Good men. Rather, “goodness.”

Sober. Or, “sound-minded” (see on 1 Tim. 3:2).

Just. Gr. dikaios, “upright” (see on Matt. 1:19).

Holy. Gr. hosios, “pure,” “pious” (see on Acts 2:27).

Temperate. Rather, “self-controlled,” an appropriate capstone to the positive qualities to be exercised. Because a good quality may be impaired by excess, self-control in all things is a requisite to successful church leadership.
