Titus About this letter

About this letter
Paul mentions Titus several times in his letters as someone who worked with him in Asia Minor and Greece (2 Corinthians 2.13; 7.6,13; 8.6,16,23; 12.18; Galatians 2.3). He is told by Paul to appoint church leaders and officials in Crete.
Paul instructs Titus to make sure that church leaders and officials have good reputations (1.5-9) and that all the Lord's followers keep themselves pure and avoid arguments (1.10—2.9).
Paul includes special instructions for the different groups within the church in Crete. He reminds Titus that a new way of life is possible because of what God has done by sending Jesus Christ: God has saved them, washed them by the power of the Holy Spirit, and given them a fresh start and the hope of eternal life.
Paul also tells how we are saved:
God our Saviour showed us
how good and kind he is.
He saved us because
of his mercy,
and not because
of any good things
that we have done.
(3.4,5)
