ISB ~ Titus 3 v1

submissive to rulers:Titus must remind his flock that public life is to be as shaped by the gospel as is private life. A Christian’s allegiance to civil government is part of this, as is working for justice and the betterment of society. The saints, Paul is saying, must also be exemplary citizens (Rom 13:1-7; 1 Pet 2:13-17; CCC 2238-42).
