Matthew Poole and continuators on Titus 2:15

15 These things speak, and exhort , and rebuke with all Authority , Let no man despise thee .

Whatsoever I have in this Epistle said unto thee, I have therefore spoke, that thou mightest speak to the same sense to others, and perswade them to the practice of them.

When thou hast occasion to reprove any for their errors, do not do it imperiously, but with meekness; nor yet slightly and cursorily, but shewing all gravity, and Authority.

And do not so demean thy self, as to give any persons occasion to despise thee.
