Titus 3:15

All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all.

All that are with me... It is impossible to know who any of these might have been.

That love us in faith... Here the preference of the ASV translators for "subjective trust/faith" wherever they could stick it in produced this monstrosity of a rendition, of which Spence said, "That love us in faith has no sense. The faith is right ."[35]

White also commented on this, thus:

This means "the faith," that is, the household of faith... Absence of the article before familiar Christian terms is a characteristic of the pastorals.[36]

One final word concerning this last little paragraph (Titus 3:12-15) is in order. Dummelow noted that:

The mingling of old names with new (Artemas and Zenas being new; Apollos and Tychicus being old) is a strong critical argument for the Pauline authorship. A pupil wishing to imitate Paul would hardly be apt to mention any but well-known names.[37]

Grace be with you all... This final benediction is identical with those of 1,2Timothy. How grateful all men should be to the Lord who preserved and handed down through history this priceless letter so rich and encouraging in its teachings, and so full of the Lord Jesus Christ.
