Titus Chapter 01 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

This epistle chiefly contains directions to Titus concerning the elders of the Church, and the manner in which he should give instruction; and the latter part tells him to urge obedience to magistrates, to enforce good works, avoid foolish questions, and shun heresies. The instructions the apostle gave are all plain and simple. The Christian religion was not formed to answer worldly or selfish views, but it is the wisdom of God and the power of God.

The apostle salutes Titus. (1-4)
The qualifications of a faithful pastor. (5-9)
The evil temper and practices of false teachers. (10-16)

Verses 1-4 All are the servants of God who are not slaves of sin and Satan. All gospel truth is according to godliness, teaching the fear of God. The intent of the gospel is to raise up hope as well as faith; to take off the mind and heart from the world, and to raise them to heaven and the things above. How excellent then is the gospel, which was the matter of Divine promise so early, and what thanks are due for our privileges! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God; and whoso is appointed and called, must preach the word. Grace is the free favour of God, and acceptance with him. Mercy, the fruits of the favour, in the pardon of sin, and freedom from all miseries both here and hereafter. And peace is the effect and fruit of mercy. Peace with God through Christ who is our Peace, and with the creatures and ourselves. Grace is the fountain of all blessings. Mercy, and peace, and all good, spring out of this.

○딛1:1 거짓 교사에 대한 경계
  딛1:1 디도에게 인사
딛 1:1 하나님의 종이요 예수 그리스도의 사도인 바울 곧 나의 사도 된 것은 하나님의 택하신 자들의 믿음과 경건함에 속한 진 리의 지식과 
딛 1:2 영생의 소망을 인함이라 이 영생은 거짓이 없으신 하나님이 영원한 때 전부터 약속하신 것인데 
딛 1:3 자기 때에 자기의 말씀을 전도로 나타내셨으니 이 전도는 우리 구주 하나님의 맡대로 내게 낱기신 것이라 
딛 1:4 같은 믿음을 따라 된 나의 참 아들 디도에게 편지하노니 하나님 아버지와 그리스도 예수 우리 구주로 좇아 은혜와 평강 이 네게 있을지어다 

Verses 5-9 The character and qualification of pastors, here called elders and bishops, agree with what the apostle wrote to Timothy. Being such bishops and overseers of the flock, to be examples to them, and God's stewards to take care of the affairs of his household, there is great reason that they should be blameless. What they are not to be, is plainly shown, as well as what they are to be, as servants of Christ, and able ministers of the letter and practice of the gospel. And here are described the spirit and practice becoming such as should be examples of good works.

  딛1:5 그레데에서 디도의 사역
딛 1:5 내가 너를 그레데에 떨어뜨려둔 이유는 부족한 일을 바로잡고 나의 명한 대로 각 성에 장로들을 세우게 하려 함이니 
딛 1:6 책망할 것이 없고 한 아내의 남편이며 방탕하다 하는 비방이나 불순종하는 일이 없는 믿는 자녀를 둔 자라야 할지라 
딛 1:7 감독은 하나님의 청지기로서 책망할 것이 없고 제 고집대로 하지 아니하며 급히 분내지 아니하며 술을 즐기지 아니하며 구타하지 아니하며 더러운 이를 탐하지 아니하며 
딛 1:8 오직 나그네를 대접하며 선을 좋아하며 근신하며 의로우며 거룩하며 절제하며 
딛 1:9 미쁜 말씀의 가르침을 그대로 지켜야 하리니 이는 능히 바른 교훈으로 권면하고 거스려 말하는 자들을 책망하게 하려 함 이라 

Verses 10-16 False teachers are described. Faithful ministers must oppose such in good time, that their folly being made manifest, they may go no further They had a base end in what they did; serving a worldly interest under pretence of religion: for the love of money is the root of all evil. Such should be resisted, and put to shame, by sound doctrine from the Scriptures. Shameful actions, the reproach of heathens, should be far from Christians; falsehood and lying, envious craft and cruelty, brutal and sensual practices, and idleness and sloth, are sins condemned even by the light of nature. But Christian meekness is as far from cowardly passing over sin and error, as from anger and impatience. And though there may be national differences of character, yet the heart of man in every age and place is deceitful and desperately wicked. But the sharpest reproofs must aim at the good of the reproved; and soundness in the faith is most desirable and necessary. To those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; they abuse, and turn things lawful and good into sin. Many profess to know God, yet in their lives deny and reject him. See the miserable state of hypocrites, such as have a form of godliness, but are without the power; yet let us not be so ready to fix this charge on others, as careful that it does not apply to ourselves.

  딛1:10 거짓 교사를 책망하라
딛 1:10 복종치 아니하고 헛된 말을 하며 속이는 자가 많은 중 특별히 할례당 가운데 심하니 
딛 1:11 저희의 입을 막을 것이라 이런 자들이 더러운 이를 취하려고 마땅치 아니한 것을 가르쳐 집들을 온통 엎드러치는도다 
딛 1:12 그레데인 중에 어떤 선지자가 말하되 그레데인들은 항상 거짓말장이며 악한 짐승이며 배만 위하는 게으름장이라 하니 
딛 1:13 이 증거가 참되도다 그러므로 네가 저희를 엄히 꾸짖으라 이는 저희로 하여금 믿음을 온전케 하고 
딛 1:14 유대인의 허탄한 이야기와 진리를 배반하는 사람들의 명령을 좇지 않게 하려 함이라 
딛 1:15 깨끗한 자들에게는 모든 것이 깨끗하나 더럽고 믿지 아니하는 자들에게는 아무 것도 깨끗한 것이 없고 오직 저희 마음 과 양심이 더러운지라 
딛 1:16 저희가 하나님을 시인하나 행위로는 부인하니 가증한 자요 복종치 아니하는 자요 모든 선한일을 버리는 자니라
