Jerome

Commentary on Titus (420)

Similarly, exhort the youth to be pure in all things, setting yourself as an example of good works in teaching, integrity and chastity, in sound and irreproachable speech, so that the outsider may respect us, having nothing bad to say about us.

Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

Showing thyself a pattern - Titus himself was then young. In the doctrine which thou teachest in public: as to matter, uncorruptness; as to the manner of delivering it, seriousness - Weightiness, solemnity.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Thus must there be soundness in charity or love. Aged persons are apt to be peevish, fretful, and passionate; and therefore need to be on their guard against such infirmities and temptations. Faith, love, and patience, are three main Christian graces, and soundness in these is much of gospel perfection.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

They must make it appear that the design of their preaching is purely to advance the honour of God, the interest of Christ and his kingdom, and the welfare and happiness of souls; that this office was not entered into nor used with secular views, not from ambition nor covetousness, but a pure aim at the spiritual ends of its institution.

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

In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works - Not merely teaching others, but showing them by example how they ought to live. On the word rendered “pattern” (τύπον tupon, type), see the Heb 9:5 note; 1Co 10:6 note; Php 3:17 note. In doctrine - In your manner of teaching; notes, 1Ti 4:16. Showing uncorruptness - The word here used does not occur elsewhere in the New Testament.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1802–1910

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

As "gravity," &c., refers to Titus himself, so "uncorruptness"; though, doubtless, uncorruptness of the doctrine will be sure to follow as a consequence of the Christian minister being of simple, uncorrupt integrity himself. gravity--dignified seriousness in setting forth the truth. sincerity--omitted in the oldest manuscripts.
