Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you. Philopoeman, a Grecian general, was so enamoured of military tactics, that when he travelled he used to be pointing out to his friend the difficulties of steep or broken ground, and how the ranks of an army must be extended or closed, according to the difference made by rivers, ditches, and defiles. By such observations, and acting upon them in real warfare, he became one of the most skilful and successful generals in his time. Were Christian ministers to attend with as much care to the arrangement of Divine truth in their public instructions; were they to consider with as much attention what plans, all things considered, are most proper to be adopted in order to extend their usefulness, it might be expected their lives would be more useful than they often are. Parallel Verses KJV: These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.WEB: Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you. |
