Titus3:2
2. To speak evil of no man--especially, not of "dignities" and magistrates.
no brawlers--"not quarrelsome," not attacking others.
gentle--towards those who attack us. Yielding, considerate, not urging one's rights to the uttermost, but forbearing and kindly (see on Php 4:5). Very different from the innate greediness and spirit of aggression towards others which characterized the Cretans.
showing--in acts.
all--all possible.
meekness--(See on 2Co 10:1); the opposite of passionate severity.
unto all men--The duty of Christian conduct towards all men is the proper consequence of the universality of God's grace to all men, so often set forth in the pastoral Epistles.
