Titus 3:11 Summary

[This verse is talking about someone who is causing trouble and division within the church. It says that this person is corrupt and sinful, and that they are actually condemning themselves by their own actions. This is a serious warning to all of us to examine our own behavior and make sure we are not causing division or strife, as seen in Romans 16:17. By following Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18:15-17 and Paul's instructions in Titus 3:9-11, we can work to maintain unity and purity within the church.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for someone to be self-condemned?

To be self-condemned means that a person's actions and behavior are so clearly wrong that they condemn themselves, even if no one else does, as seen in Titus 3:11. This is similar to the concept in Romans 2:1, where those who judge others are actually condemning themselves.

How can we recognize a corrupt and sinful person?

A corrupt and sinful person is often characterized by their divisive behavior and refusal to listen to admonition, as mentioned in Titus 3:10-11. We can also look to warnings in scriptures like 2 Timothy 3:1-5, which describe people who are lovers of themselves and have a form of godliness but deny its power.

Is it loving to reject someone who is being divisive?

While it may seem harsh, rejecting someone who is being divisive can be a loving act, as it helps to protect the unity of the body of Christ, as seen in Titus 3:10-11. This is in line with Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18:15-17, where He instructs us to confront sin and, if necessary, separate from those who refuse to repent.

How does this verse relate to church discipline?

This verse is part of a larger discussion on church discipline in Titus 3:9-11, where Paul instructs Titus to avoid foolish controversies and reject divisive people. This is similar to the instructions in 1 Corinthians 5:1-13, where Paul teaches about the importance of church discipline in maintaining the purity of the church.

Gill's Exposition on Titus 3:11

Knowing that he that is such is subverted,.... Or overturned and demolished; he is like an edifice, that is not only decaying, and falling, but is entirely everted, and pulled down; so that there is

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Titus 3:11

Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. Knowing-by the ill success of your admonitions.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Titus 3:11

Is subverted; ezestraptai, is turned out of the true and right way and road; and sinneth, and is a transgressor, being condemned of himself, condemned of his own conscience; for he who spends his time about questions and genealogies, and strifes of words, and little questions about the law, instead of preaching Christ, is told by his own conscience that he doth not do his duty.

Trapp's Commentary on Titus 3:11

11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. Ver. 11. Is subverted] Gr. εξεστραπται, Is turned topsy turvy, as a tumbler that hath his heels in the air and his head on the earth; as a ship turns up her keel, or as a man "wipeth a dish and turneth it upside down," 2 Kings 21:13; some render it thus, He hath the fairest side outward, and make it a metaphor from foul linen, the foul side turned inward; as if he should have said, such a man, whatsoever shows he maketh, is a naughty man. (Mr Cranford on 2 Timothy 2:17) Condemned of himself] Since, as a headstrong horse, he gets the bit between his teeth, and runs away. Thus did the Pharisees, Toties puncti, et repuncti, minime tamen ad resipiscentiam compuncti, as one saith; they shut the windows lest the light should come in, and so were condemned, by their own consciences. Or, "he is condemned of himself" by excommunicating himself from the holy assemblies (as our church forsakers do), which other sinners are condemned to by the Church. The fornicator, the adulterer, the murderer, &c., are cast out of the Church by the Church officers. But heretics condemn themselves by a wilful departure from the Church; quae recessio propriae conscientiae videtur esse damnatio, and this seems to be the sense of the apostle’ s self-condemned, saith Jerome upon this text.

Ellicott's Commentary on Titus 3:11

(11) Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.—Better rendered, is perverted and sinneth, being self-condemned. Inasmuch as thou knowest, seeing that thy reproofs and warnings have been of none effect, that he is “thoroughly perverted”—the expression is a very strong one, and signifies literally hath been turned inside out. The same verb is used in the LXX. translation of Deu 32:20, the “very froward generation” of the English version—having been warned once and again, he is without the excuse of ignorance, but sins on in the full consciousness of his wilful and seditious life. His perverse conduct in stirring up party-feeling in the Church publicly convicts him of doing the very wrong which in general he professes to condemn. With these words the public or official portion of the Letter to the presiding presbyter in Crete closes. Paul had begun with directions how the church life of the island—up to this period apparently devoid of organisation—was to be arranged; he concludes with instructions how to deal with any who presumed to set themselves in opposition to his plans for the government of the community. The central portion of the letter is occupied in discussing how Christian doctrine is to influence the lives of those accepting it, and especially it treats of the conduct of Christians towards the Pagan world, with whom they will necessarily be brought in contact.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Titus 3:11

Verse 11. Is subverted] Is turned out of the way in which he may be saved, and consequently sinneth-enters into that way that leads to destruction. Being condemned of himself.] This refers to the Judaizing teacher, who maintained his party and opinions for filthy lucre's sake. He was conscious of his own insincerity; and that he proclaimed not his system from a conscientious love of truth, but from a desire to get his livelihood. Were the Church in all countries, whether established by law or unestablished, strictly scrutinized, multitudes of heretics of this kind would be found. And perhaps this is the only bad sense in which the word should be understood.

Cambridge Bible on Titus 3:11

11. he that is such is subverted] Is perverted, the word is used by Lucian for ‘turning inside out,’ in LXX. for ‘a very froward generation,’ Deuteronomy 32:20. Vulg. has ‘subversus,’ but Theod. Mops. Lat. ‘perversus.’ it does not occur again in N.T., the usual compound being with the preposition ‘through and through’ instead of ‘out and out.’ Cf. Acts 20:30 ‘speaking perverse things,’ Philippians 2:15 ‘in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.’ It cannot, as Professor Reynolds thinks, describe ‘the effect of the isolation’ recommended, but is rather the state of obstinate wrongheadedness (to use a similar English metaphor), which, after two chances of enlightenment rejected, becomes wilful sin. The present tense should have its full force, is a wilful sinner. Cf. Ephesians 4:26 ‘Be ye angry and sin not,’ 1 John 3:6 ‘Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not,’ is not a sinner in wilful purpose and habit.being condemned of himself] Self-condemned, as such, by callousness to the two approaches of God’s minister: the word does not occur again in N.T.

Barnes' Notes on Titus 3:11

Knowing that he that is such is subverted - Literally, “is turned out;” or, “is changed,” i. e., for the worse. He has gone from the right way, and therefore he should be rejected.

Whedon's Commentary on Titus 3:11

11. Subverted—He has ceased to be a believer, and has become, perhaps, a Gnostic. He has gone over from St. Paul to Simon Magus. He has ceased to be a true Christian, and has become a true Cretan.
