2 That faith and that knowledge come from our hope for life forever. God promised that life to us before time began, and God does not lie.

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

4 To Titus. You are like a true son to me in the faith we share. Grace and peace to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
