Titus 1:3-5

New Century Version

³ At the right time God let the world know about that life through preaching. He trusted me with that work, and I preached by the command of God our Savior.

⁴ To Titus, my true child in the faith we share:

Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

Titus’ Work in Crete

⁵ I left you in Crete so you could finish doing the things that still needed to be done and so you could appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
