Titus
Titus was one of Paul’s most trusted helpers, a Greek convert whom Paul took to the Jerusalem council as living proof that Gentiles need not be circumcised to be saved (Galatians 2:1-3), and whom he later sent to settle the troubled church at Corinth. After Paul’s release from his first Roman imprisonment, the two worked together on the island of Crete, and Paul left Titus there to “set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city.” This short letter is Paul’s instruction for that work.
This series reads Titus chapter by chapter, following this site’s studies of 1 and 2 Timothy — the third and last of the pastoral letters and the twelfth epistle on the site. In three chapters it moves from the qualifications of church leaders, through the grace of God that teaches us to live soberly, righteously and godly while “looking for that blessed hope,” to the kindness and love of God our Saviour, who saves us “by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.”
