Titus 3:14

And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

The natural inference of this seems to be that Titus had a fund from which to supply such things as Paul requested for Apollos and Zenas; and, if this is correct, the meaning here would appear to be:

Let our Christians learn to do what Jews do, and even heathens too, viz., really provide for the real wants of their own.[33]

The emphasis throughout these letters which Paul placed upon good works was commented upon thus by Lipscomb:

In these "pastorals" we have eight reminders to be earnest and zealous in good works. The passages are: 1Tim.2:10,5:10,6:18; 2 Timothy 2:21; Titus 1:16,2:7,14; 3:14. It is noteworthy that these epistles containing so many exhortations to work for Christ are among his last inspired utterances.[34]
