This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Tit 2:14. Ἵνα λυτρώσηται, that He might redeem) An allusion to redemption from slavery.[12]-λαὸν περιούσιον, a peculiar people) The adjective would be translated into Latin by superfactum. Columella writes, villica debet separare, quœ consumenda sunt, et quœ superfieri possunt, custodire, “a farmer’s wife should separate what is to be consumed, and keep what may be left over and above.” Comp. περιποίησις, 1Pe 2:9, note. [The περὶ in composition often expresses something remaining over and above. So περιποίησις, in Peter, something which God reserves to Himself out of all. And περιούσιος, a people peculiarly God’s own above all nations, Exo 19:5-6; LXX.]

[12] He had been speaking of slaves or servants, ver. 9.-ED.
