Greek Commentary for Titus 3:6
Genitive case by attraction from ο ho (grammatical gender) to the case of πνευματος αγιου pneumatos hagiou We do not have grammatical gender (only natural) in English. Hence here we should say “whom,” even if it does not go smoothly with εχεχεεν execheen (he poured out, second aorist active indicative of εκχεω ekcheō). The reference is to the great Pentecost (Acts 2:33) as foretold by Joel (Joel 2:28). [source]
Then and to each one in his own experience. See note on Romans 10:12; 1 Timothy 6:17. [source]
Or poured forth. Only here in Pastorals. Most frequent in Revelation. The pouring out of the Spirit is an O.T. metaphor. See Joel 3:1, Joel 3:2, cit. in Acts 2:17, Acts 2:18; Zechariah 12:10. In Paul the verb occurs but once, of shedding blood, Romans 3:15, cit. [source]
