Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Titus 3:11

"knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned." — Titus 3:11 (ASV)

Stubborn refusal of admonition will assure Titus that the person is “warped” (GK 1750), i.e., in a state of twisted perversion, wholly out of touch with truth. The passive voice seems to point to the satanic agency behind his condition. This person is also sinful, deliberately missing the divine standard by a persistent refusal to receive correction. It reveals an inner moral condition of being “selfcondemned.” That individual knows that in his deliberate refusal to abandon self-chosen views, he is wrong and stands condemned by his own better judgment.
