1:15 What does Paul mean here that unto the pure all things are pure?
1:15 What does Paul mean here that unto the pure all things are pure?
Most bible commentators believe that Paul is referring to the ritual purity of Jewish food laws here.
But food is not in view as the context clearly shows (cp Tit 1:10-16).
Paul is referring in V15 to moral character, inward purity and outward righteousness, as V 16 teaches (cp Mt 12:34-35; 15:10-20; Mk 7:14-23).
What Paul means in Tit 1:15 is that if one's moral condition is pure, then that one thinks no evil (cp 1Cor 13:5; 6:9-14; Php 2:3-4).
