Titus 1:4 BBE

²  In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true;

³  Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

⁴  To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

⁵  I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

⁶  Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.
