Commentaries on Titus 2:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7In all things showing thyself a pattern - As the apostle had given directions relative to the conduct of old men, Titus 2:2, of old women, Titus 2:3, of young women, Titus 2:4, and of young men, Titus 2:6, the words , which we translate in all things, should be rather considered in reference to the above persons, and the behavior required in them: showing thyself a pattern of good works to all these persons - being, in sobriety, gravity, temperance, what…Read the comment

Paul then elaborates on the coming of Christ (Titus 2:11–14) before giving a direct charge to Titus (2:15).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 77. In--with respect to all things. thyself a pattern--though but a young man thyself.
