Context of Titus 2:13

11For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives [with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age, awaiting and confidently expecting the [fulfillment of our] blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good. 15Tell them these things. Encourage and rebuke with full authority. Let no one disregard or despise you [conduct yourself and your teaching so as to command respect].

Commentaries on Titus 2:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Looking for that blessed hope - Expecting the grand object of our hope, eternal life. See Titus 1:2. This is what the Gospel teaches us to expect, and what the grace of God prepares the human heart for. This is called a blessed hope; those who have it are happy in the sure prospect of that glory which shall be revealed. The glorious appearing - ̔ . This clause, literally translated, is as follows: And the appearing of the glory of the great God, even our…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Looking for - Expecting; waiting for. That is, in the faithful performance of our duties to ourselves, to our fellow-creatures, and to God, we are patiently to wait for the coming of our Lord. (1)We are to believe that he will return; (2)We are to be in a posture of expectation, not knowing when he will come; and, (3)We are to be ready for him whenever he shall come; see the Matthew 24:42-44 notes; 1 Thessalonians 5:4 note; Philemon 3:20 note. That…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-15Verses 11-15 The doctrine of grace and salvation by the gospel, is for all ranks and conditions of men. It teaches to forsake sin; to have no more to do with it. An earthly, sensual conversation suits not a heavenly calling. It teaches to make conscience of that which is good. We must look to God in Christ, as the object of our hope and worship. A gospel conversation must be a godly conversation. See our duty in a very few words; denying ungodliness and…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1313. (Php 3:20, 21). Looking for--with constant expectation (so the Greek) and with joy (Ro 8:19). This will prove the antidote to worldly lusts, and the stimulus to "live in this present world" conformably to this expectation. The Greek is translated, "waiting for," in Lu 2:25. that--Greek, "the." blessed--bringing blessedness (Ro 4:7, 8). hope--that is, object of hope (Ro 8:24; Ga 5:5; Col 1:5). the glorious appearing--There is but one Greek article to…Read the comment
