1 1 FROM PAUL, SERVANT of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, marked as such by faith and knowledge and hope - the faith of God's chosen people, knowledge of the truth as our religion has it, and the hope of eternal life. 1 2 Yes, it is eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago, 1 3 and now in his own good time he has openly declared himself in the proclamation which was entrusted to me by ordinance of God our Saviour. 1 4 To Titus, my true-born son in the faith which we share.
Grace and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
