提多书 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 1:11

Whose mouths must be stopped
Or they be silenced, by reasons and arguments fetched out of the word of God; as were the Sadducees and Pharisees by Christ, so that they durst ask him no more questions; and as the Jews at Damascus were by Saul, who confounded them, proving in the clearest and strongest manner, that Jesus was the very Christ:

who subvert whole houses;
into which they creep; that is, whole families, whose principles they corrupt, whose faith they overthrow, and carry them away with their own errors; and therefore, since this was the case not of a single person, or of a few, but of whole families, it was high time to attempt to convince them, and stop their mouths, that they might proceed no further:

teaching things which they ought not;
which were not agreeable to the perfections of God, to the Scriptures of truth, to sound doctrine, and which were hurtful and pernicious to the souls of men: and that only

for filthy lucre's sake;
having no regard to the glory of God, the honour and interest of Christ, or the good of immortal souls; only seeking to gain popular applause and honour from men, and to gather and increase worldly substance. Covetousness was a sin which the Cretians were remarkably guilty of F12.

提多书 1:11 In-Context

9 坚 守 所 教 真 实 的 道 理 , 就 能 将 纯 正 的 教 训 劝 化 人 , 又 能 把 争 辩 的 人 驳 倒 了 。
10 因 为 有 许 多 人 不 服 约 束 , 说 虚 空 话 欺 哄 人 ; 那 奉 割 礼 的 更 是 这 样 。
11 这 些 人 的 口 总 要 堵 住 。 他 们 因 贪 不 义 之 财 , 将 不 该 教 导 的 教 导 人 , 败 坏 人 的 全 家 。
12 有 革 哩 底 人 中 的 一 个 本 地 先 知 说 : 革 哩 底 人 常 说 谎 话 , 乃 是 恶 兽 又 馋 又 懒 。
13 这 个 见 证 是 真 的 。 所 以 , 你 要 严 严 的 责 备 他 们 , 使 他 们 在 真 道 上 纯 全 无 疵 ,
