Titus 1:1-4

Contemporary English Version

1 From Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ.

I encourage God's own people to have more faith and to understand the truth about religion. ² Then they will have the hope of eternal life God promised long ago. And God never tells a lie! ³ So, at the proper time, God our Savior gave this message and told me to announce what he had said.

^4 (A) Titus, because of our faith, you are like a son to me. I pray that God our Father and Christ Jesus our Savior will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!
