For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, do thou diligently set forward on their way, in order that, nothing, unto them, may be wanting.

All they who are with me salute thee. Salute thou them who regard us with faithful affection. Favour, be with you all.
