Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Titus 1:3

“But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:”

“in due times--Greek, "in its own seasons," the seasons appropriate to it, and fixed by God for it (Act 1:7). manifested--implying that the "promise," Tit 1:2, had lain hidden in His eternal purpose heretofore (compare Col 1:26; Ti2 1:9-10). his word--equivalent to "eternal life" (Tit 1:2; Joh 5:24; Joh 6:63; Joh 17:3, Joh 17:17). through preaching--Greek, "in preaching," of rather as ALFORD (see on Ti2 4:17), "in the (Gospel) proclamation (the thing preached, the Gospel) with which I was entrusted." according to--in pursuance of (compare Ti1 1:1). of God our Saviour--rather as Greek, "of our Saviour God." God is predicated of our Saviour (compare Jde 1:25; Luk 1:47). Also Psa 24:5; Isa 12:2; Isa 45:15, Isa 45:21, Septuagint. Applied to Jesus, Tit 1:4; Tit 2:13; Tit 3:6; Ti2 1:10.”
