Titus 3:2

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.
