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
Where the manners of this people were more stubborn, he orders them to be admonished 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.
