Толкование К Титу послание ап. Павла 2 глава 1 стих - Экзегет

It is one thing to speak sound doctrine, something else to teach what agrees with sound doctrine. For the former consists merely in simple instruction, the latter takes place when together with what you teach there is also improvement of life. “For he who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men thus shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven.” The Savior commands his disciples not only to labor at meditating on the Scriptures, to reflect upon the things that are written, and to store them up in the treasury of their memory; but first they are to do what has been commanded. “But whosoever does and teaches, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” For unless our justice surpasses the justice of the Scribes and Pharisees, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. They are those who, although they sit upon Moses’ seat, they say and do not do, and they bind burdens that cannot be carried, which they place on men’s necks, and they themselves are unwilling to touch with the least finger. This then the apostle now teaches Titus his son in Christ and his own disciple that he should speak what agrees with sound doctrine. For at that time when the teacher’s doctrine is equally in agreement with his life, there is soundness of doctrine.
