Titus 3:12-15 (WEB)

12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

13 Send Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.

14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
