[1:1] Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness,
[1:2] in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began
[1:3] and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior;
[1:4] To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
