Titus 1:1-4

Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness, ² in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. ³ In his own time he has revealed his word in the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Savior: ⁴ To Titus, my true son in our common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
