Notes

Titus 2:11

has been revealed (literally has appeared): See study note on 1 Timothy 6:14.
salvation to everyone: Paul intends that God’s grace will fully accomplish its purposes among the Cretans and that, in doing so, it will enlist them into God’s saving work of evangelism (Titus 2:12; see 1 Timothy 2:1–7; 4:10).

Titus 2:11–15

For: The commands of 2:1–10 are here grounded in the past and future coming of Christ. God’s grace is a model for the church’s own conduct, even as salvation by grace makes a good life possible and creates people devoted to good works (see also 3:3–7).

Titus 2:1–15

Sound teaching was especially urgent on account of the false teachers, who had caused problems within "entire households" (1:11). In 2:1–10, Paul addresses different groups within the household of faith, showing his concern for the public testimony of the church (2:5, 8, 10; see also 1 Tim 5:1–6:2). Paul then elaborates on the coming of Christ (Titus 2:11–14) before giving a direct charge to Titus (2:15).
