Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Titus 2:7

_ _ Inwith respect to all things.

_ _ thyself a pattern — though but a young man thyself. All teaching is useless unless the teacher’s example confirm his word.

_ _ in doctrinein thy ministerial teaching (showing) uncorruptness, that is, untainted purity of motive on thy part (compare 2 Corinthians 11:3), so as to be “a pattern” to all. As “gravity,” etc., 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.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Titus 2:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Titus 2:7

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.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(3) In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, (b) gravity, sincerity,

(3) The sixth admonition: that both the pastor's life and doctrine must be sound.
