Context
Salutation
1:1 From Paul , a slave of God and apostle of Jesus Christ , to further the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness ,
1:2 in hope of eternal life , which God , who does not lie , promised before the ages began .
1:3 But now in his own time he has made his message evident through the preaching I was entrusted with according to the command of God our Savior .
1:4 To Titus , my genuine son in a common faith . Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior !
Titus’ Task on Crete
1:5 The reason I left you in Crete was to set in order the remaining matters and to appoint elders in every town , as I directed you .
1:6 An elder must be blameless , the husband of one wife , with faithful children who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion .
1:7 For the overseer must be blameless as one entrusted with God’s work , not arrogant , not prone to anger , not a drunkard , not violent , not greedy for gain .
1:8 Instead he must be hospitable , devoted to what is good , sensible , upright , devout , and self-controlled .
1:9 He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught , so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching and correct those who speak against it.
