Tite 2:9

9 Exhorte les serviteurs à être soumis à leurs maîtres, à leur plaire en toutes choses, à n'être point contredisants,

Tite 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 2:9

[Exhort] servants to be obedient to their own masters
And not others, whether they be believers, or unbelievers, gentle or froward, all their lawful commands ought to be obeyed; (See Gill on Ephesians 6:5) and to please [them] well in all things; not only to obey and serve them, and do what they order, but to seek and endeavour to do it in such a way as may be grateful, acceptable, and well pleasing to them, whereby an interest in their affection, esteem, and commendation, may be gained: and this should be done always, and in all things, that are not contrary to a good conscience and to the Christian religion, and to the laws of God and nature. Or "that they may be well pleased in all things"; that is, be satisfied and contented with such things as they have, and in their state and condition as servants, and cheerfully abide in the calling wherein they are called:

not answering again;
replying to their masters' orders, or complaints, either in a pert, or saucy, or grumbling manner; an evil very incident to servants, and which greatly provokes.

Tite 2:9 In-Context

7 te montrant toi-même à tous égards un modèle de bonnes oeuvres, et donnant un enseignement pur, digne,
8 une parole saine, irréprochable, afin que l'adversaire soit confus, n'ayant aucun mal à dire de nous.
9 Exhorte les serviteurs à être soumis à leurs maîtres, à leur plaire en toutes choses, à n'être point contredisants,
10 ne rien dérober, mais à montrer toujours une parfaite fidélité, afin de faire honorer en tout la doctrine de Dieu notre Sauveur.
11 Car la grâce de Dieu, source de salut pour tous les hommes, a été manifestée.
