• the righteousness of faith which justifies, instead of condemning, because its efficacy is grounded on the accomplished and atoning work of Christ. Its character therefore is "bringing salvation," and this not to a single people like Israel under the law, but "to all men." The grace of God revealing Himself in Christ and His redemption is too precious to be limited (“On Titus 2:9-12” by W. Kelly)

• But the grace of God goes out " to all" alike indiscriminately, not judging but " saving." Such is the gospel as here shown. It is not a demand of works nor a test of man, but especially founded upon the work of God Himself in Christ; it is a revelation of His saving goodness for man to believe. (“On Titus 2:9-12” by W. Kelly)

• Chapter 2:11-15 contains a remarkable summary of Christianity, not exactly of its dogmas, but as a practical reality for men. (“Titus 2” by J.N. Darby)
