⁴ To Titus, ^(A)my true child in ^(B)a common faith:

^(C)Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

² To Timothy, ^(A)my beloved child:

^(B)Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Judgment on False Teachers

³ Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our ^(A)common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you ^(B)to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.

¹¹ For in this way there will be richly provided for you ^(A)an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Greeting

1 Simeon^[a] Peter, a servant^[b] and apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have obtained ^(A)a faith of equal standing with ours ^(B)by the righteousness of our ^(C)God and Savior Jesus Christ:

¹³ my spirit ^(A)was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

²³ As for Titus, he is ^(A)my partner and fellow worker for your benefit. And as for our brothers, they are messengers^[a] of the churches, the glory of Christ.

¹² that is, that we may be mutually encouraged ^(A)by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

⁴² They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, ^(A)and we know that this is indeed ^(B)the Savior ^(C)of the world.”

¹⁴ And this is ^(A)the confidence that we have toward him, that ^(B)if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
