Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is an opponent may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
All Commentaries on Titus 2:8 Go To Titus 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
By him that is of the contrary part, he means the devil, and every one who ministers to him. For when the life is illustrious, and the discourse corresponds to it, being meek and gentle, and affording no handle to the adversaries, it is of unspeakable advantage. Of great use then is the ministry of the word, not any common word, but that which is approved, and cannot be condemned, affording no pretext to those who are willing to censure it.
