9 Los esclavos siempre deben obedecer a sus amos y hacer todo lo posible por agradarlos. No deben ser respondones

Tito 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.

Tito 2:9 In-Context

7 Y sé tú mismo un ejemplo para ellos al hacer todo tipo de buenas acciones. Que todo lo que hagas refleje la integridad y la seriedad de tu enseñanza.

8 Enseña la verdad, para que no puedan criticar tu enseñanza. Entonces los que se nos oponen quedarán avergonzados y no tendrán nada malo que decir de nosotros.

9 Los esclavos siempre deben obedecer a sus amos y hacer todo lo posible por agradarlos. No deben ser respondones

10 ni robar, sino demostrar que son buenos y absolutamente dignos de confianza. Entonces harán que la enseñanza acerca de Dios nuestro Salvador sea atractiva en todos los sentidos.

11 Pues la gracia de Dios ya ha sido revelada, la cual trae salvación a todas las personas.
