Titus 1:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Whose mouths must be stopped; the word is active; such ministers ought to be placed in cities as shall be able and fit to stop such persons mouths, by sound doctrine and arguments fit to convince them: or, thou oughtest to stop their mouths by silencing them; though I do not see how this was practicable in a pagan country, otherwise than by persuading Christians not to hear them. Who subvert whole houses; who, as to the foundation of faith and its building, overturn whole families of Christians. Teaching things which they ought not; infusing false doctrine into them. For filthy lucre's sake; and all for filthy gain: and all gain is so, that is got by deceiving and ruining of people's souls, as to their faith and salvation.

Titus 1:11

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
