Spurgeon's notes on TITUS

"Be perfect, even as your Father, who is in Heaven, is perfect."
 

Titus 1:1-9

Titus was another of Paul's sons in the faith, and is spoken of by the apostle as "my partner and fellow-helper." Paul wrote this epistle to give him instructions how to put in order the churches of Crete to which he had been sent.

Titus 1:5

The gospel had been preached in Crete, and converts made; but the churches needed to be properly constituted. Churches without elders are like an army without officers. Those err greatly who despise order.

Titus 1:6

So that the Church of Rome has no right to forbid ministers to marry.

Titus 1:7-9

bishop or overseer, described in the fifth verse as an elder

Titus 1:7-9

See what ministers ought to be, and pray that many such may be found for our churches.

 

Titus 2:1, 2

Aged Christians are nearer Heaven than others, and should be more heavenly-minded.

Titus 2:3-5

The young woman's first duty is at home.

Titus 2:9, 10

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; not disputing, or using impertinent language.

Titus 2:9, 10

Not purloining or stealing little things, whether under the name of perquisites or otherwise

Titus 2:11-14

We have heard much of "the peculiar people," be it ours to be peculiarly holy.
