Titus 2:2
_ _ sober — Translated “vigilant,” as sober men alone can be (1 Timothy 3:2). But “sober” here answers to “not given to wine,” Titus 2:3; Titus 1:7.
_ _ grave — “dignified”; behaving with reverent propriety.
_ _ temperate — “self-restrained”; “discreet” [Alford], (Titus 1:8; 1 Timothy 2:9).
_ _ faith ... charity [love] ... patience — combined in 1 Timothy 6:11. “Faith, hope, charity” (1 Corinthians 13:13). “Patience,” Greek, “enduring perseverance,” is the attendant on, and is supported by, “hope” (1 Corinthians 13:7; 1 Thessalonians 1:3). It is the grace which especially becomes old men, being the fruit of ripened experience derived from trials overcome (Romans 5:3). |
Titus 2:2
Vigilant — As veteran soldiers, not easily to be surprised. Patience — A virtue particularly needful for and becoming them. Serious — Not drolling or diverting on the brink of eternity. |
