Jerome

Commentary on Titus (420)

But we, living in Christ in a chaste and just manner, not only avoid sin with our body and mind, but also live piously in this world. This piety expects a blessed hope and the advent of the glory of the great God, and of our Savior Jesus Christ. Just as impiety fears the advent of the great God, so does piety confidently await it, secure in its works and faith. Where is the snake Arius? Where is the serpent Eunomius?

Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

Looking - With eager desire. For that glorious appearing - Which we hope for. Of the great God, even our saviour Jesus Christ - So that, if there be (according to the Arian scheme) a great God and a little God, Christ is not the little God, but the great one.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Looking for - Expecting; waiting for. That is, in the faithful performance of our duties to ourselves, to our fellow-creatures, and to God, we are patiently to wait for the coming of our Lord. (1) We are to believe that he will return; (2) We are to be in a posture of expectation, not knowing when he will come; and, (3) We are to be ready for him whenever he shall come; see the Mat 24:42-44 notes; 1Th 5:4 note; Php 3:20 note. That blessed hope - The fulfillment of that hope so full of blessedness to us.
