TITUS 2:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.”
Declare these things; exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you — Paul commands Titus to proclaim doctrine authoritically, combining exhortation (parakalei) and reproof (elegche), the positive and negative of pastoral work. The phrase with all authority (en pasē epitagē) grants apostolic weight to Titus's office, derived from Paul. The final charge — let no one despise you (kataphroneō) — acknowledges the vulnerability of youth in authority, yet demands respect as representative of apostolic tradition.
