When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

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.

Everyone with me greets you. Greet those who love us in the faith. ¹  Grace be with you all. ² 

This saying ¹  is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on such truths, ²  so that those who have placed their faith in God may be intent on engaging in good works. These things are good and beneficial for all people.
