This epistle chiefly contains directions to Titus
concerning the elders of the Church, and the manner in which he should give
instruction; and the latter part tells him to urge obedience to magistrates, to
enforce good works, avoid foolish questions, and shun heresies. The instructions
the apostle gave are all plain and simple. The Christian religion was not formed
to answer worldly or selfish views, but it is the wisdom of God and the power of
God.
