Titus Study Notes—Chapter 1New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
holding firmly to the faithful word: An elder would adhere to God’s word by the way he teaches and by the way he lives. When teaching before the congregation, he relies, not on his own ideas, experience, or abilities as a speaker, but on “the faithful word,” or “the trustworthy message,” contained in the Scriptures. (1Co 4:6 and study note) In this way, he reaches hearts and motivates his listeners to love and serve Jehovah. (Heb 4:12) Further, by living according to the Scriptural principles he teaches, he avoids any taint of hypocrisy. An elder who holds to this standard helps the congregation remain unified and serves as “a pillar and support of the truth.”—See study notes on 1Ti 3:2, 15.
his art of teaching: See study note on 2Ti 4:2.
encourage: Or “exhort.”—See study note on Ro 12:8.
