Study Lenses

The verse centers on "all things", "vnto", "pure", "defiled", "vnbeleeuing", and "nothing". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "vnto", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 14's "And not taking heede to Iewish fables..." into verse 16's "They professe that they know God but...", so "all things" and "vnto" belong inside that flow. In Titus context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "all things" and "vnto" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
