This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Tit 3:7. Ἵνα, that) This depends on He saved.-δικαιωθέντες, being justified) For formerly we were without righteousness, Tit 3:5.-ἐκείνου, His) God’s, Tit 3:4-5. ἐκεῖνος, He, or that person, points often to something remote. That which is more remote (as expressed by ἐκεῖνος) is estimated from the position of the words, not exactly from the thought itself. The grace of God is an ordinary phrase; and it is of that grace that the kindness and love to men have appeared, to which all things are here attributed. God is supremely good, we are exceedingly evil.-χάριτι, by grace) An antithesis to works.-κατʼ ἐλπίδα, according to the hope) which we did not formerly possess. [This hope truly softens the mind, 1Pe 3:9.-V. g.]-ζωῆς, of life) Construed with heirs.
