Titus

Paul's letters provide most of the information about Titus. Galatians says Titus, a Greek, accompanied Paul to Jerusalem and was not compelled to be circumcised despite pressure from false brothers, making his case important to Paul's defense of Gentile freedom in Christ. Second Corinthians portrays Titus as a trusted intermediary between Paul and the Corinthian church. Paul was deeply encouraged by Titus' arrival and report of the Corinthians' response, and Titus also participated in organizing the collection for needy believers. The Letter to Titus addresses him as Paul's true child in a common faith and says Paul left him in Crete to put remaining matters in order and appoint elders in every town. The letter gives extensive instructions concerning sound doctrine, qualified leadership, godly conduct, and good works. Paul later asks Titus to join him at Nicopolis after a replacement arrives.
