Titus 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.

7 Denn ein Bischof soll untadelig sein als ein Haushalter Gottes, nicht eigensinnig, nicht zornig, nicht ein Weinsäufer, nicht raufen, nicht unehrliche Hantierung treiben;

8 sondern gastfrei, gütig, züchtig, gerecht, heilig, keusch,

9 und haltend ob dem Wort, das gewiß ist, und lehrhaft, auf daß er mächtig sei, zu ermahnen durch die heilsame Lehre und zu strafen die Widersprecher.

10 Denn es sind viel freche und unnütze Schwätzer und Verführer, sonderlich die aus den Juden,
