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.

5 Titus’ Work in Crete I left you in Crete so that you could finish doing the things that still needed to be done. I left you there also so that you could choose men to be elders in every town.
