Titus 3:8
ContextSummary of the Letter
3:8 This saying 3 is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on such truths, 4 so that those who have placed their faith in God may be intent on engaging in good works. These things are good and beneficial for all people.
1 sn The overseer is another term for the same official position of leadership as the “elder.” This is seen in the interchange of the two terms in this passage and in Acts 20:17, 28, as well as in the parallels between these verses and 1 Tim 3:1-7.
2 tn Grk “as God’s steward.”
3 sn This saying (Grk “the saying”) refers to the preceding citation (Titus 3:4-7). See 1 Tim 1:15; 3:1; 4:9; 2 Tim 2:11 for other occurrences of this phrase.
4 tn Grk “concerning these things.”
