1 Paul (humble), a servant {doulos} of God {Theou} and an apostle (sent one) of Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One) for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge (discernment) of the truth that leads to godliness, 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God {Theos}, who cannot lie, promised before time began \before times eternal/. 3 In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God {Theou} our Savior. 4 To Titus (title of honor), my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God {Theou} the Father and Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves) our Savior. 5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife (faithful to his wife), having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination. 7 As God’s {Theou} steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
