Chapter 2
1 1 As for yourself, you must say what is consistent with sound doctrine, namely,

Footnotes(注解)
1 [1-10] One of Titus' main tasks in Crete is to become acquainted with the character of the Cretans and thereby learn to cope with its deficiencies (see Titus 1:12). The counsel is not only for Titus himself but for various classes of people with whom he must deal: older men and women (Titus 2:2-4), younger women and men (Titus 2:4-7), and slaves (Titus 2:9-10); cf Eph 6:1-9; Col 3:18-4:1.
2 [11-15] Underlying the admonitions for moral improvement in Titus 2:1-10 as the moving force is the constant appeal to God's revelation of salvation in Christ, with its demand for transformation of life.
3 [13] The blessed hope, the appearance: literally, "the blessed hope and appearance," but the use of a single article in Greek strongly suggests an epexegetical, i.e., explanatory sense. Of the great God and of our savior Jesus Christ: another possible translation is "of our great God and savior Jesus Christ."
