Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Titus 2:13

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;Appearing... The two Advents are in Titus 2:11,13. In Titus 2:11, it was the appearing of the grace of God in the First Advent of our Lord, and here it is the final appearing in the Second Advent when Christ will judge the quick and the dead. The first of this twofold epiphany is past, being the earthly life of our Lord; whereas the one in Titus 2:13 is future. It pertains to the glory of... read more

As Zerr said, "This clearly shows that Christ is the particular one of the godhead meant in the preceding verse."[35] Here the great ransom for many is in view (Mark 10:45). We do not inquire concerning the one to whom the ransom was paid, nor as to why it was necessary, nor if it could have been done in some other way.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Titus 2:13

Titus 2:13. And the glorious appearing— Even the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour. We may observe, in support of this version, which is perfectly agreeable to the original, that we never read in scripture of the appearance of God the Father; and consequently we have in this text as strong a proof as possible of the true divinity of Jesus Christ. See 2 Peter 1:1. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Titus 2:14

Titus 2:14. A peculiar people,— The word περιουσιον, rendered peculiar, does not appear to have been used by any of the ancient prophane writers. The LXX seem first to have framed it, in order to express the Hebrew סגלה Segleh, a peculium, a peculiar treasure or property. The phrase Λαος περιουσιος signifies "a supernumerary people, a people wherein God had a superlative property and interest, above and besides his common interest in all the nations of the world," says the learned Jos. Mede, p.... read more

An appropriate image in addressing bond-servants (Titus 2:9; Titus 2:10): from all iniquity—the essence of sin, namely, "transgression of the law": in bondage to which we were till then.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:1-15

1. The behavior of various groups in the church 2:1-15To establish order in the church Paul gave Titus instructions concerning the behavior of various groups of Christians that was appropriate for them (cf. 1 Timothy 5:1-2). This involves pastoral oversight."Paul here stresses the importance of building up the inner life of believers as the best antidote against error." [Note: Hiebert, "Titus," p. 435.] "No condition and no period of life is to remain unaffected by the sanctifying influence of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Titus 2:11-14

Rationale for such behavior 2:11-14"The previous paragraph [Titus 2:1-10] has been a challenge to the several groups in the Cretan churches to accept the specifically Christian pattern of behavior. Its presuppositions may at first sight seem prosaically humdrum and conventional, but Paul now eloquently reminds Titus that they have their basis in the gospel itself. It was precisely in order to raise men to a higher quality of life that God intervened in history in the incarnation." [Note: Kelly,... read more
