Letter to Titus

The Letter to Titus is a pastoral epistle written by the Apostle Paul to encourage and instruct Titus, a Greek follower of Jesus and trusted coworker whom Paul had left in Crete to restore order to a network of house churches.

The letter addresses church leadership qualifications, the importance of sound doctrine, and practical guidance for various groups of believers.

Paul emphasizes that the gospel's transformative power can create a new kind of humanity, even in the morally corrupt Cretan culture, and instructs Titus to appoint mature elders as leaders who embody integrity and devotion to Jesus.
