Tito 1:8 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 3:8

But a lover of hospitality (See Gill on 1 Timothy 3:2)

a lover of good men,
or "of good"; the Syriac version renders it, "of good things"; as prayer, preaching, reading, meditation, spiritual conversation, and every religious exercise: or "of good men"; for such an elder or bishop has chiefly to do and converse with; and if he is not a lover of them, their company will be disagreeable to him, and he will be of no advantage to them; and if he does not love the souls of men, he will not naturally care for their state, or be concerned for their good.

Sober:
in body, using moderation in diet and dress; and in mind, being prudent, modest, and humble, and thinking soberly of himself, and others, as he ought.

Just;
righteous in his dealings with men, giving to everyone their due; upright and sincere in his conversation with the saints; and faithful in his counsel, admonitions, and reproofs.

Holy;
devout towards God, constant in all religious exercises in the closet, family, and church; and living soberly, righteously, and godly in the world.

Temperate;
in eating and drinking; continent from the lusts of the flesh; and even abstaining from those things which might be lawfully used, though inexpedient, for the sake of the weak, the peace of the church, and the glory of God.

Tito 1:8 In-Context

6 alguém que seja irrepreensível, marido de uma só mulher, tendo filhos crentes que não sejam acusados de dissolução, nem sejam desobedientes.
7 Pois é necessário que o bispo seja irrepreensível, como despenseiro de Deus, não soberbo, nem irascível, nem dado ao vinho, nem espancador, nem cobiçoso de torpe ganância;
8 mas hospitaleiro, amigo do bem, sóbrio, justo, piedoso, temperante;
9 retendo firme a palavra fiel, que é conforme a doutrina, para que seja poderoso, tanto para exortar na sã doutrina como para convencer os contradizentes.
10 Porque há muitos insubordinados, faladores vãos, e enganadores, especialmente os da circuncisão,
