Titus 1:1-4

Establishing Order Through Truth and Leadership

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,

2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

3 In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.

4 To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
