Commentary

Commentary on Titus 2:15

Theological / Devotional

Speak. Paul here gives three methods of teaching and leading Christian congregations. Some church members are eager to listen; others need additional urging and more direct counsel; still others, for various reasons, need stronger admonition coupled with incontrovertible evidence.

Authority. The minister’s authority ultimately rests, not in his office, but in his divine commission and in the integrity of his ministry.

Despise. Titus should present his teachings so cogently that his hearers will not honestly avoid what he is saying or find his arguments illogical, and thus lose confidence in him.
