Greetings

From:[a] Paul, a servant of God, and also an apostle of Jesus the Messiah,[b] to bring the faith to those chosen by God, along with full knowledge of the truth that leads to[c] godliness, which is based on the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before the world[d] began. At the right time he revealed his message through the proclamation that was entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.

To: Titus, a genuine child in the faith that we share.

May grace and peace[e] from God the Father and the Messiah,[f] Jesus our Savior, be yours!
