Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Titus 1:4

_ _ Titus, mine own sonGreek, “my genuine child” (1 Timothy 1:2), that is, converted by my instrumentality (1 Corinthians 4:17; Philemon 1:10).

_ _ after the common faith — a genuine son in respect to (in virtue of) the faith common to all the people of God, comprising in a common brotherhood Gentiles as well as Jews, therefore embracing Titus a Gentile (2 Peter 1:1; Jude 1:3).

_ _ Grace, mercy, and peace — “mercy” is omitted in some of the oldest manuscripts. But one of the best and oldest manuscripts supports it (compare Notes, see on 1 Timothy 1:2; see on 2 Timothy 1:2). There are many similarities of phrase in the Pastoral Epistles.

_ _ the Lord Jesus Christ — The oldest manuscripts read only “Christ Jesus.”

_ _ our Saviour — found thus added to “Christ” only in Paul’s Pastoral Epistles, and in 2 Peter 1:1, 2 Peter 1:11; 2 Peter 2:20; 2 Peter 3:18.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Titus 1:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Titus 1:4

My own son — Begot in the same image of God, and repaying a paternal with a filial affection. The common faith — Common to me and all my spiritual children.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Titus 1:4

(4) To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: (5) Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

(4) The apostle exhorts the Cretians to hear Titus, by setting forth his consent and agreement with them in the faith, and in addition shows by what special note we may distinguish true ministers from false. (5) There is but one way of salvation, common both to the pastor and the flock.
