Tito 2:9

9 Exhorta a los siervos a que se sujeten a sus amos en todo, que sean complacientes, no contradiciendo,

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 muéstrate en todo como ejemplo de buenas obras, con pureza de doctrina, con dignidad,
8 con palabra sana e irreprochable, a fin de que el adversario se averguence al no tener nada malo que decir de nosotros.
9 Exhorta a los siervos a que se sujeten a sus amos en todo, que sean complacientes, no contradiciendo,
10 no defraudando, sino mostrando toda buena fe, para que adornen la doctrina de Dios nuestro Salvador en todo respecto.
11 Porque la gracia de Dios se ha manifestado, trayendo salvación a todos los hombres,
