Tito 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 1:10

For there are many unruly
Persons who are not subject to the law of God, or Gospel of Christ; whose spirits are not subject to the prophets; and who will not submit themselves to them that have the rule over them, nor attend to the admonitions of the church, nor be brought into any regularity and order; and there were many of this sort, who were not sent forth by Christ, or his churches, but went forth of themselves, and were corrupters of the word; and therefore Christ's ministers ought to hold fast the faithful word, and convince such opposers by sound doctrine;

and vain talkers;
who deliver out in their discourses empty, trifling, superficial, and frivolous things; which have no solidity and substance in them, nor do they tend to edification; only great swelling words of vanity, vain jangling and babbling about things to no profit.

And deceivers;
both of themselves and others; who lie in wait to deceive, and are deceitful workers; and by their good words, and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple; and so are dangerous persons, and of pernicious consequence:

especially they of the circumcision;
or "of the Jews", as the Ethiopic version renders it; that is, not the unbelieving Jews, but such as professed Christianity, judaizing Christians, who joined Moses and Christ and blended the law and Gospel together; who taught that circumcision, and the observance of other ceremonies of the law, were necessary to justification and salvation; and hereby did a great deal of mischief among the churches.

Tito 1:10 In-Context

8 sino hospitalario, amante de lo bueno, prudente, justo, santo, dueño de sí mismo,

9 reteniendo la palabra fiel que es conforme a la enseñanza, para que sea capaz también de exhortar con sana doctrina y refutar a los que contradicen.

10 Porque hay muchos rebeldes, habladores vanos y engañadores, especialmente los de la circuncisión,

11 a quienes es preciso tapar la boca, porque están trastornando familias enteras, enseñando, por ganancias deshonestas, cosas que no deben.

12 Uno de ellos, su propio profeta, dijo: Los cretenses son siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, glotones ociosos.
