Paul a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and for their knowledge of the Truth that goes with a religious life,

serving in hope of the life eternal which God, who never lies, promised ages ago ??3 he gave effect to his word in due time by a proclamation with which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour: ??4 to Titus my lawful son in a faith we hold in common; grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

That is a true statement. So deal sharply with them, to have them sound in the faith

Tell the older men to be temperate, serious, masters of themselves, sound in faith, in love, and in stedfastness.

It is a sure saying. I want you to insist on this, that those who have faith in God must profess honest occupations. Such counsels are right and good for men.

All who are with me salute you. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
