Strong's Lexicon Titos: Titus Original Word: Τίτος Word Origin: Of Latin origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Titus, as it is a Greek name of Latin origin. However, the role and function of Titus in the New Testament can be compared to figures like Joshua (Strong's Hebrew 3091), who also served as a leader and faithful servant in the community of God's people. Usage: Titus is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a close companion and fellow worker of the Apostle Paul. He is primarily known for his role in the early Christian church as a trusted emissary and leader. Titus is mentioned in several of Paul's epistles, where he is depicted as a faithful and reliable partner in ministry. Cultural and Historical Background: Titus was a Greek convert to Christianity, likely brought to faith by Paul himself. He played a significant role in the early church, particularly in the regions of Corinth and Crete. Titus was instrumental in resolving conflicts and establishing church order, reflecting the challenges faced by the early Christian communities in maintaining doctrinal purity and unity. His Greek heritage and leadership in predominantly Gentile areas highlight the expanding reach of the Gospel beyond Jewish communities.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 5103: ΤίτιοςΤίτιος, Τίτου, ὁ, the praenomen of a certain Corinthian, a Jewish proselyte, also surnamed Justus: Acts 18:7 T Tr brackets WH (see Τίτος). STRONGS NT 5103: ΤίτοςΤίτος (Rec.st in the subscription, Τίτος; cf. Lipsius, Gram. Unters., p. 42f; Tdf. Proleg., p. 103; Pape, Eigennamen, under the word; Winer's Grammar, § 6, 1 m.), Τίτου, ὁ, Titus, a Gentile Christian, Paul's companion in some of his journeys and assistant in Christian work: 2 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Corinthians 7:6, 13; 2 Corinthians 8:6, 16, 23; 2 Corinthians 12:18; Galatians 2:1, 3; 2 Timothy 4:10; Titus 1:4. He is not mentioned in the Book of Acts. But since Titus is the praenomen, perhaps he appears in the Acts under his second, or, if he was a Roman, under his third name; cf. Rückert on 2 Cor., p. 410. He is by no means, however, to be identified (after Wieseler, Com. ü. d. Brief a. d. Galater, p. 573f (also his Chron. d. apost. Zeit., p. 204)) with the Titus of Acts 18:7, even if the reading (of some authorities (see Tdf.'s note ad loc.)) Τίτου (see Τίτιος above) Ἰούστου be the true one.
