For this cause left I thee in Crete: that thou shouldest perform that which was lacking and shouldest ordain elders in every city as I appointed thee.

But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:

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

Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may 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.
