not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

They shouldn't steal things for themselves, but show they are completely trustworthy so that they may rightly represent the truth about God our Savior in every way.

Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things:

They should not steal things that belong to their masters. Instead, they should always be completely honest/reliable and thus show their masters that their masters can completely trust them. They should behave like this in order that as a result of all the slaves conducting themselves well, people will realize that the teachings about God our Savior are very desirable.

Titus 2:10 Summary

[Titus 2:10 teaches us that as believers, we should strive to be honest and trustworthy in all our interactions, whether at work or in our personal relationships, just as Jesus taught in Matthew 5:16. This means not taking things that don't belong to us and being faithful in our responsibilities. By doing so, we can bring honor to the message of salvation and show others the beauty of following God our Savior, as seen in the example of the early church in Acts 2:47, where the believers were praised by all and enjoyed the favor of the people.]

Gill's Exposition on Titus 2:10

Not purloining..... Or stealing, embezzling their master's substance, taking away, and making use of what is their property, keeping back part of money or goods committed to their trust: the word is

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Titus 2:10

Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Not purloining , [ nosfizomenous (G3557)] - 'Not appropriating' what does not belong to one.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Titus 2:10

Not purloining; nosfizomenouv the word signifieth taking something away from others to our own use, and it signifies properly the taking not the whole, but a part of a thing; it is used to signify the sin of Ananias and Sapphira, who kept back part of what they sold their estate for, ,3. But showing all good fidelity; honesty, and truth, and diligence. That they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things; that they may not be a scandal or reproach to the gospel to which they make a profession, but may be an ornament to it in all things, as remembering that it is the doctrine of God our great Preserver, and of Jesus Christ our blessed Saviour.

Trapp's Commentary on Titus 2:10

10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Ver. 10. Not purloining] Interverting, embezzling their master’ s estates, ordinary among the Romans, which made them call servants and thieves by one name, ordinary among the Hebrews; whence that saying of Rabbi Gamaliel, Marbe gnabadim, marbe gezel, He that multiplieth servants, multiplieth thieves. Ordinary also among us, whence that proverb, "He that will be rich must ask his servant’ s leave." Audent cum talia fures. Virgil.

Ellicott's Commentary on Titus 2:10

(10) Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity.—It must be remembered that many of the slaves in the Roman empire were employed in other duties besides those connected with the house or on the farm. Some were entrusted with shops, and these being left often quite to themselves, of course great opportunities for dishonesty and fraud were constantly present. Others received an elaborate training, and as artists, or even physicians, worked in part for their masters. A slave in the days of St. Paul had a hundred ways of showing to his owner this true and genuine fidelity, opposed to mere assumed surface obedience and service. That they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.—A slave cheerfully accepting his hard yoke, and striving with hand and brain to please and advance the interest of his earthly master only for the dear love of Christ, must have been in those days of cynical self-love a silent, yet a most powerful preacher of a gospel which could so mould and elevate a character so degraded. Calvin remarks that it is indeed noteworthy how God deigns to receive an adornment from slaves, whose condition was so mean and abject that scarcely were they considered to rank among men at all; “they were ranked as ‘possessions.’ just like cattle or horses.” Professor Reynolds very happily remarks here: “This teaching of St. Paul is in harmony with the words of the Lord Jesus—out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise. God gets His highest praise from the lips of little children, His robes of glory from the faithfulness, honour, and simplicity of born slaves.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Titus 2:10

Verse 10. Not purloining] μηνοσφιζομενους. Neither giving away, privately selling, nor in any way wasting, the master's goods. The word signifies, not only stealing but embezzling another's property; keeping back a part of the price of any commodity sold on the master's account. In Acts 5:2, we translate it, to keep back part of the price; the crime of which Ananias and Sapphira were guilty. It has been remarked that among the heathens this species of fraud was very frequent; and servants were so noted for purloining and embezzling their master's property that fur, which signifies a thief, was commonly used to signify a servant; hence that verse in Virgil, Eclog. iii. 16: - Quid domini faciant, audent cum talia FURES? "What may not masters do, when servants (thieves) are so bold?" On which Servius remarks: Pro SERVO FUREM posuit, furta enim specialiter servorum sunt. Sic Plautus de servo, Homo es trium literarum, i.e. fur. "He puts fur, a thief, to signify a servant, because servants are commonly thieves. Thus Plautus, speaking of a servant, says: Thou art a man of three letters, i.e. f-u-r, a thief." And Terence denominates a number of servants, munipulus furum, "a bundle of thieves." Eun. 4, 7, 6. The place in Plautus to which Servius refers is in Aulul., act ii. scene iv. in fine: - -------------Tun', trium literarum homo, Me vituperas? F-u-r, etiam fur trifurcifer. "Dost thou blame me, thou man of three letters? Thou art a thief, and the most notorious of all knaves." It was necessary, therefore, that the apostle should be so very particular in his directions to servants, as they were in general thieves almost by profession.

Cambridge Bible on Titus 2:10

10. not purloining] Old French purloigner, i.e. pour-loin, to convey far, to ‘make away with,’ rendering the adverb in the Greek ‘afar,’ ‘apart.’ The verb only occurs in N.T. here and Acts 5:2-3, ‘put away part of the price.’But ‘purloin’ has come to have so petty a meaning as to narrow unduly the thought here. Almost all trades arts and professions were at this time in the hands of slaves; and so all tricks of trade, all mercantile or professional embezzlement and dishonesty, are covered by the word; just as ‘all good fidelity’ ‘covers the whole realm of thought, of speech temper and gesture, as well as embraces the sanctity of covenants, the sacredness of property, and the dignity of mutual relations.’all good fidelity] The weight of ms. authority is in favour of this reading, though ‘all love’ has strong support.God our Saviour] God the Father, as above, 1 Timothy 1:1, &c.; render our Saviour God. The phrase fits with the thought, ‘quo vilior servorum conditio eo dignior Deus Salvator, dignior Dei redemptio.’ Dr Reynolds quotes Chrysostom, ‘The Greeks judge of doctrines, not from the doctrine itself but from conduct and life; women and slaves may be, in and of themselves, teachers,’ and adds, ‘God gets his highest praise from the lips of little children, his robes of glory from the faithfulness honour and simplicity of bondslaves.’ Sec Appendix, J, on St Paul and Slavery.

Barnes' Notes on Titus 2:10

Not purloining - Not to appropriate to themselves what belongs to their masters.
