in due times--Greek, "in its own seasons," the seasons appropriate to it, and fixed by God for it (Act 1:7).
manifested--implying that the "promise," Tit 1:2, had lain hidden in His eternal purpose heretofore (compare Col 1:26; Ti2 1:9-10).
his word--equivalent to "eternal life" (Tit 1:2; Joh 5:24; Joh 6:63; Joh 17:3, Joh 17:17).
through preaching--Greek, "in preaching," of rather as ALFORD (see on Ti2 4:17), "in the (Gospel) proclamation (the thing preached, the Gospel) with which I was entrusted."

of God our Saviour--rather as Greek, "of our Saviour God." God is predicated of our Saviour (compare Jde 1:25; Luk 1:47). Also Psa 24:5; Isa 12:2; Isa 45:15, Isa 45:21, Septuagint. Applied to Jesus, Tit 1:4; Tit 2:13; Tit 3:6; Ti2 1:10. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
But hath in due times - At the proper time; the time which he had intended; the best time: see the notes at Ti1 2:6; compare the notes at Mat 2:2.
Manifested his word through preaching - See the notes at Ti2 2:10. The meaning here is, that he has made known his eternal purpose through the preaching of the gospel; compare the notes at Rom 10:14-15.
Which is committed unto me - Not exclusively, but in common with others; see the notes at Ti2 1:11.
According to the commandment of God our Saviour - Paul always claimed to be divinely commissioned, and affirmed that he was engaged in the work of preaching by the authority of God; see Gal 1:1-12; Co1 1:1; Rom 1:1-4. |

| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| And he hath in his own times - At sundry times; and his own times are fittest for his own work. What creature dares ask, "Why no sooner?" Manifested his word - Containing that promise, and the whole "truth which is after godliness." Through the preaching wherewith I am intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour - And who dares exercise this office on any less authority? |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
But hath in due times - Καιροις ιδιοις· In its own times. See Ti1 2:6; Gal 4:4; Eph 1:10; Eph 2:7. God caused the Gospel to be published in that time in which it could be published with the greatest effect. It is impossible that God should prematurely hasten, or causelessly delay, the accomplishment of any of his works. Jesus was manifested precisely at the time in which that manifestation could best promote the glory of God and the salvation of man.
Manifested his word - Τον λογον αὑτου· His doctrine - the doctrine of eternal life, by the incarnation, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Which is committed unto me - That is, to preach it among the Gentiles.
According to the commandment of God our Savior - This evidently refers to the commission which he had received from Christ. See Act 9:15 : "He is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles." For, "I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee; to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light," etc,; Act 26:16, etc. This is the commandment; and according to it he became the apostle of the Gentiles.
God our Savior. - As the commission was given by Jesus Christ alone, the person whom he terms here God our Savior must be Jesus Christ only; and this is another proof that St. Paul believed Jesus Christ to be God. This eternal life God had promised in a comparatively obscure way before the foundation of the world, the Jewish dispensation; but now under the Gospel, he had made it manifest - produced it with all its brightness, illustrations, and proofs. |
10 But [1161] is [5319] now [3568] made manifest [5319] by [1223] the appearing [2015] of our [2257] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3303] hath abolished [2673] death [2288], and [1161] hath brought [5461] life [2222] and [2532] immortality [861] to light [5461] through [1223] the gospel [2098]:
6 Which [3739] he shed [1632] on [1909] us [2248] abundantly [4146] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Saviour [4990];
13 Looking for [4327] that blessed [3107] hope [1680], and [2532] the glorious [1391] appearing [2015] of the great [3173] God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547];
4 To Titus [5103], mine own [1103] son [5043] after [2596] the common [2839] faith [4102]: Grace [5485], mercy [1656], and peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] the Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Saviour [4990].
21 Tell [05046] ye, and bring them near [05066]; yea, let them take counsel [03289] together [03162]: who hath declared [08085] this from ancient time [06924]? who hath told [05046] it from that time? have not I the LORD [03068]? and there is no God [0430] else beside [01107] me; a just [06662] God [0410] and a Saviour [03467]; there is none [0369] beside [02108] me.
15 Verily [0403] thou art a God [0410] that hidest [05641] thyself, O God [0430] of Israel [03478], the Saviour [03467].
2 Behold, God [0410] is my salvation [03444]; I will trust [0982], and not be afraid [06342]: for the LORD [03050] JEHOVAH [03068] is my strength [05797] and my song [02176]; he also is become my salvation [03444].
5 He shall receive [05375] the blessing [01293] from the LORD [03068], and righteousness [06666] from the God [0430] of his salvation [03468].
47 And [2532] my [3450] spirit [4151] hath rejoiced [21] in [1909] God [2316] my [3450] Saviour [4990].
25 To the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], be glory [1391] and [2532] majesty [3172], dominion [2904] and [2532] power [1849], both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] ever [1519] [3956] [165]. Amen [281].
1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] by [2596] the commandment [2003] of God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], and [2532] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], which [3588] is our [2257] hope [1680];
17 Notwithstanding [1161] the Lord [2962] stood [3936] with me [3427], and [2532] strengthened [1743] me [3165]; that [2443] by [1223] me [1700] the preaching [2782] might be fully known [4135], and [2532] that all [3956] the Gentiles [1484] might hear [191]: and [2532] I was delivered [4506] out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of the lion [3023].
17 Sanctify [37] them [846] through [1722] thy [4675] truth [225]: thy [4674] word [3056] is [2076] truth [225].
3 And [1161] this [3778] is [2076] life [2222] eternal [166], that [2443] they might know [1097] thee [4571] the only [3441] true [228] God [2316], and [2532] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], whom [3739] thou hast sent [649].
63 It is [2076] the spirit [4151] that quickeneth [2227]; the flesh [4561] [3756] profiteth [5623] nothing [3762]: the words [4487] that [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] unto you [5213], they are [2076] spirit [4151], and [2532] they are [2076] life [2222].
24 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] He that heareth [191] my [3450] word [3056], and [2532] believeth [4100] on him that sent [3992] me [3165], hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222], and [2532] shall [2064] not [3756] come [2064] into [1519] condemnation [2920]; but [235] is passed [3327] from [1537] death [2288] unto [1519] life [2222].
2 In [1909] hope [1680] of eternal [166] life [2222], which [3739] God [2316], that cannot lie [893], promised [1861] before [4253] the world [166] began [5550];
9 Who [3588] hath saved [4982] us [2248], and [2532] called [2564] us with an holy [40] calling [2821], not [3756] according to [2596] our [2257] works [2041], but [235] according to [2596] his own [2398] purpose [4286] and [2532] grace [5485], which [3588] was given [1325] us [2254] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] before [4253] the world began [5550] [166],
10 But [1161] is [5319] now [3568] made manifest [5319] by [1223] the appearing [2015] of our [2257] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3303] hath abolished [2673] death [2288], and [1161] hath brought [5461] life [2222] and [2532] immortality [861] to light [5461] through [1223] the gospel [2098]:
26 Even the mystery [3466] which [3588] hath been hid [613] from [575] ages [165] and [2532] from [575] generations [1074], but [1161] now [3570] is made manifest [5319] to his [846] saints [40]:
2 In [1909] hope [1680] of eternal [166] life [2222], which [3739] God [2316], that cannot lie [893], promised [1861] before [4253] the world [166] began [5550];
7 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], It is [2076] not [3756] for you [5216] to know [1097] the times [5550] or [2228] the seasons [2540], which [3739] the Father [3962] hath put [5087] in [1722] his own [2398] power [1849].
1 Paul [3972], a servant [1401] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], called [2822] to be an apostle [652], separated [873] unto [1519] the gospel [2098] of God [2316],
2 (Which [3739] he had promised afore [4279] by [1223] his [846] prophets [4396] in [1722] the holy [40] scriptures [1124],)
3 Concerning [4012] his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962], which [3588] was made [1096] of [1537] the seed [4690] of David [1138] according [2596] to the flesh [4561];
4 And declared [3724] to be the Son [5207] of God [2316] with [1722] power [1411], according [2596] to the spirit [4151] of holiness [42], by [1537] the resurrection [386] from the dead [3498]:
1 Paul [3972], called [2822] to be an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] through [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316], and [2532] Sosthenes [4988] our brother [80],
1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652], (not [3756] of [575] men [444], neither [3761] by [1223] man [444], but [235] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] God [2316] the Father [3962], who [3588] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498];)
2 And [2532] all [3956] the brethren [80] which are with [4862] me [1698], unto the churches [1577] of Galatia [1053]:
3 Grace [5485] be to you [5213] and [2532] peace [1515] from [575] God [2316] the Father [3962], and [2532] from our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547],
4 Who [3588] gave [1325] himself [1438] for [5228] our [2257] sins [266], that [3704] he might deliver [1807] us [2248] from [1537] this present [1764] evil [4190] world [165], according [2596] to the will [2307] of God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Father [3962]:
5 To whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
6 I marvel [2296] that [3754] ye are [3346] so [3779] soon [5030] removed [3346] from [575] him that called [2564] you [5209] into [1722] the grace [5485] of Christ [5547] unto [1519] another [2087] gospel [2098]:
7 Which [3739] is [2076] not [3756] another [243]; but there be [1526] some [5100] that [1508] trouble [5015] you [5209], and [2532] would [2309] pervert [3344] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547].
8 But [235] though [2532] [1437] we [2249], or [2228] an angel [32] from [1537] heaven [3772], preach any other gospel [2097] unto you [5213] than [3844] that which [3739] we have preached [2097] unto you [5213], let him be [2077] accursed [331].
9 As [5613] we said before [4280], so [2532] say I [3004] now [737] again [3825], If any [1536] man preach [2097] any other [3844] gospel [2097] unto you [5209] than [3844] that [3739] ye have received [3880], let him be [2077] accursed [331].
10 For [1063] do I [3982] now [737] persuade [3982] men [444], or [2228] God [2316]? or [2228] do I seek [2212] to please [700] men [444]? for [1063] if [1487] I [700] yet [2089] pleased [700] men [444], I should [302] not [3756] be [2252] the servant [1401] of Christ [5547].
11 But [1161] I certify [1107] you [5213], brethren [80], that [3754] the gospel [2098] which [3588] was preached [2097] of [5259] me [1700] is [2076] not [3756] after [2596] man [444].
12 For [1063] I [1473] neither [3761] received [3880] it [846] of [3844] man [444], neither [3777] was I taught [1321] it, but [235] by [1223] the revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
11 Whereunto [1519] [3739] I [1473] am appointed [5087] a preacher [2783], and [2532] an apostle [652], and [2532] a teacher [1320] of the Gentiles [1484].
14 How [4459] then [3767] shall they call on [1941] him in [1519] whom [3739] they have [4100] not [3756] believed [4100]? and [1161] how [4459] shall they believe in [4100] him of whom [3739] they have [191] not [3756] heard [191]? and [1161] how [4459] shall they hear [191] without [5565] a preacher [2784]?
15 And [1161] how [4459] shall they preach [2784], except [3362] they be sent [649]? as [2531] it is written [1125], How [5613] beautiful [5611] are the feet of them [4228] that preach the gospel [2097] of peace [1515], and bring glad tidings [2097] of good things [18]!
10 Therefore [1223] [5124] I endure [5278] all things [3956] for [1588] the elect's [1588] sakes [1223], that [2443] they [846] may [5177] also [2532] obtain [5177] the salvation [4991] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] with [3326] eternal [166] glory [1391].
2 Saying [3004], Where [4226] is [2076] he that is born [5088] King [935] of the Jews [2453]? for [1063] we have seen [1492] his [846] star [792] in [1722] the east [395], and [2532] are come [2064] to worship [4352] him [846].
6 Who [3588] gave [1325] himself [1438] a ransom [487] for [5228] all [3956], to be testified [3142] in due [2398] time [2540].
16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672].
11 According [2596] to the glorious [1391] gospel [2098] of the blessed [3107] God [2316], which [3739] was committed to [4100] my [1473] trust [4100].
17 Notwithstanding [1161] the Lord [2962] stood [3936] with me [3427], and [2532] strengthened [1743] me [3165]; that [2443] by [1223] me [1700] the preaching [2782] might be fully known [4135], and [2532] that all [3956] the Gentiles [1484] might hear [191]: and [2532] I was delivered [4506] out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of the lion [3023].
6 Who [3588] gave [1325] himself [1438] a ransom [487] for [5228] all [3956], to be testified [3142] in due [2398] time [2540].
16 But [235] rise [450], and [2532] stand [2476] upon [1909] thy [4675] feet [4228]: for [1063] I have appeared [3700] unto thee [4671] for [1519] this purpose [5124], to make [4400] thee [4571] a minister [5257] and [2532] a witness [3144] both [5037] of these things which [3739] thou hast seen [1492], and [5037] of those things in the which [3739] I will appear [3700] unto thee [4671];
15 But [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Go thy way [4198]: for [3754] he [3778] is [2076] a chosen [1589] vessel [4632] unto me [3427], to bear [941] my [3450] name [3686] before [1799] the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] kings [935], and [5037] the children [5207] of Israel [2474]:
7 That [2443] in [1722] the ages [165] to come [1904] he might shew [1731] the exceeding [5235] riches [4149] of his [846] grace [5485] in [1722] his kindness [5544] toward [1909] us [2248] through [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
10 That in [1519] the dispensation [3622] of the fulness [4138] of times [2540] he might gather together in one [346] all things [3956] in [1722] Christ [5547], both [5037] which [3588] are in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] which [3588] are on [1909] earth [1093]; even in [1722] him [846]:
4 But [1161] when [3753] the fulness [4138] of the time [5550] was come [2064], God [2316] sent forth [1821] his [846] Son [5207], made [1096] of [1537] a woman [1135], made [1096] under [5259] the law [3551],
6 Who [3588] gave [1325] himself [1438] a ransom [487] for [5228] all [3956], to be testified [3142] in due [2398] time [2540].
