Book of Titus

Pauline Epistles (Pastoral)

Paul

c. 63–65 AD

Good works and sound leadership in Crete.

Titus instructs Titus on appointing elders in Crete, teaching sound doctrine across generations, and demonstrating good works as evidence of faith.

“Remind the believers to submit to rulers and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work,”

“But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.”

“Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,”

“As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach — not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.”

“It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,”
