Titus 1:1

PAUL'S LETTER TO TITUS

After the 65-word salutation (in the Greek), longer than that of any of the Pauline letters except Galatians and Romans[8] (Titus 1:1-4), Paul outlined the qualifications of elders whom Titus was commissioned to appoint in Crete (Titus 1:5-9), referred to the character of the false teachers operating there, and warned Titus concerning the unsavory reputation of the Cretan population (Titus 1:10-16).
