TITUS

Timothy had been left to watch over doctrine, but is directed as to the order of the church. Titus had been left to set in order the things which were wanting, and ordain elders, and the body of the directions here are about sound doctrine. We get a full statement of what may be called the Christian scheme in chapter 2: 11-14; and in chapter 3 exhortations to patience with all through the sense of grace bestowed on ourselves.

In all these three epistles God has specially the character of God the Saviour, with a reference of this title to all men.
