1 ¶ Paul,º a servantº of God,º andº an apostleº of Jesusº Christ,º according² to¹ the faithº of God'sº elect,º andº the acknowledgingº of the truthº whichº is afterº godliness;º 2 Inº hopeº of eternalº life,º whichº God,º that cannot lie,º promisedºª beforeº the world¹ began;º² 3 Butº hath¹ª in dueº timesº manifestedºª his¹² wordº throughº preaching,º whichº is committedºª unto meº according² to¹ the commandmentº of Godº ourº Saviour;º 4 To Titus,º [mine] ownº sonº afterº the commonº faith:º Grace,º mercy,º [and] peace,º fromº Godº the Fatherº andº the Lordº Jesusº Christº ourº Saviour.º² 5 For this¹ cause¹²² left² I¹ª theeº inº Crete,º thatº thou shouldest set in orderºª the things that are wanting,ºª andº ordainºª eldersº in every¹ city,º² asº Iº had appointedºª thee:º
