Titus 2:15

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you.
All Commentaries on Titus 2:15 Go To Titus 2

John Chrysostom

AD 407
These things speak and exhort. Do you see how he charges Timothy? Reprove, rebuke, exhort. But here, Rebuke with all authority. For the manners of this people were more stubborn, wherefore he orders them to be rebuked more roughly, and with all authority. For there are some sins, which ought to be prevented by command. We may with persuasion advise men to despise riches, to be meek, and the like. But the adulterer, the fornicator, the defrauder, ought to be brought to a better course by command. And those who are addicted to augury and divination, and the like, should be corrected with all authority. Observe how he would have him insist on these things with independence, and with entire freedom.
