George Leo Haydock, on Titus 1:13

“This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;”

“This testimony, or character, says the apostle, is true, by public fame of them, and therefore they must be rebuked sharply, [10] their condition and dispositions requiring it; which, therefore, is not contrary to the admonition he gave to Timothy, to be gentle towards all. (2 Timothy ii. 24.) (Witham)”
