Paul’s Greeting to Titus

(2 Corinthians 8:16–24)

1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for [the] faith of God’s elect and [their] knowledge of [the] truth that leads to godliness, 2 in [the] hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.[fn] 3 [In His] own time He has made His word {evident} in [the] proclamation entrusted to me by [the] command of God our Savior.

4 To Titus, [my] true child in [our] common faith:

Grace, mercy,[fn] [and] peace from God [the] Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.[fn]
