Tito 3:2

2 que a ninguém infamem, nem sejam contenciosos, mas moderados, mostrando toda a mansidão para com todos os homens.

Tito 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 3:2

To speak evil of no man
As not of one another, so not of the men of the world, to the prejudice of their names and characters, which are tender things, and ought to be gently touched; nor of magistrates, principalities, and powers, of persons in dignity and authority, which the false teachers were not afraid to speak evil of, and by their principles and practices taught others to do the same:

to be no brawlers;
or "fighters", either by blows or words; not litigious and quarrelsome, wrangling and striving about things to no profit, and to the detriment and disturbance of civil government, churches, neighbourhood, and families; which is very unbecoming the followers of Jesus, who strove not, nor cried, nor was his voice heard in the streets. But gentle, showing all meekness to all men; yielding and giving way, rather choosing to suffer wrong than to brawl, contend, and litigate a point; taking the advice of Christ in ( Matthew 5:39-41 ) , carrying it in a meek and humble manner to men of all ranks and degrees, whether superior or inferior, rich or poor, bond or free, Jews or Gentiles, members of the church, or men of the world.

Tito 3:2 In-Context

1 Adverte-lhes que estejam sujeitos aos governadores e autoridades, que sejam obedientes, e estejam preparados para toda boa obra,
2 que a ninguém infamem, nem sejam contenciosos, mas moderados, mostrando toda a mansidão para com todos os homens.
3 Porque também nós éramos outrora insensatos, desobedientes, extraviados, servindo a várias paixões e deleites, vivendo em malícia e inveja odiosos e odiando-nos uns aos outros.
4 Mas quando apareceu a bondade de Deus, nosso Salvador e o seu amor para com os homens,
5 não em virtude de obras de justiça que nós houvéssemos feito, mas segundo a sua misericórdia, nos salvou mediante o lavar da regeneração e renovação pelo Espírito Santo,
