THE HOLY BIBLE (Darby Translation) Darby's Notes on Titus
Chapter Selection:

1:1b and, 1:3b but

In Greek de, a particular additional circumstance, more marked as a distinct relationship, giving occasion to consequences.

1:1c knowledge

Epignosis, as Col. 1:9.

1:2d in

Epi: the condition under which the apostolic mission exists.

1:8e discreet

i.e. 'sober,' or of 'sound mind,' as ch. 2:2, 5, 6, 12.

1:8f pious

Hosios, as 'holy,' Heb. 7:26.

1:9g refute

Elenko, as ch. 2:15, 'rebuke,' see Note, John 3:20.

1:13a rebuke

Elenko, as ver. 9, and ch. 2:15.

2:2b discreet

i e. 'sober' or of 'sound mind,' as ch. 1:8; 2:5, 6, 12.

2:2c patience

Or 'endurance,' as Jas. 5:11; but see 2Thess. 3:5; Rev. 1:9.

2:4d admonish

To impart and enforce by will, counsel, and rebuke, rules of conduct, &c.

2:9e masters

Despotes, as 2Tim. 2:21.

2:9f themselves

The literal translation is 'to be,' yet I judge I have given the true sense. It is elsewhere used of the Christian towards God or Christ; but to be acceptable is a fact. I cannot exhort a person to be it; to make himself so I can; and that is the sense here.

2:9g gainsaying

Or 'contradictory;' that is, opposing their masters when they speak to them.

2:11h men

Or 'has appeared to all men,' but I prefer the text.

2:12i teaching

This word has certainly the sense of discipline, and always perhaps carries with it something of the thought of setting right; but it is used unquestionably for instructing, as in Acts 7:22, and elsewhere.

2:12k soberly

That is, with self-restraint and consideration, or sound mind; as 'discreet,' ch. 1:8.

2:12l things

Aion: see Matt. 13:22, but 'age' hardly gives the sense. 'World' gives the false idea of this world as one, and heaven another. It was, for the Jews, the present state of things in contrast with that to be introduced by Messiah.

2:14m gave

Or 'has given.' Aorist.

3:4a man

Lit. 'philanthropy.'

3:5b washing

'Washing' is right here. It is a bath, or the water for it. 'Regeneration' is not the same word as 'being born again,' nor is it used so in scripture. The force of the word is a change of position; a new state of things. The word is only used here, and in Matt. 19:28 for the Saviour's coming kingdom.

3:7c *his*

This refers to our Saviour God, ver. 4.

3:15d love

Phileo: see Note b, John 21:15.
