Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things." — Titus 2:10 (ASV)
But showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Is not that a wonderful passage? Here is a slave able to be an ornament to the gospel of Christ! This blessed gospel is not sent to kings and princes only; when Paul preached it, the great mass of the population was in cruel bondage, treated like dogs, or even worse; yet the gospel had a message even for them. It told them that they might, by a godly character, adorn the doctrine of God their Saviour.
But showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
The life of the Christian, even if he is a servant, is to be an ornament of Christianity. Christ does not look for the ornament of his religion to the riches or the talents of his followers, but to their holy lives that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
