Tit 1: v4. To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from Yahweh the Father and the Son YahwehShua Messiah our Saviour.
Titus was a Greek Gentile and living proof that physical circumcision was unnecessary in the New Covenant! He was drawn to the New Covenant by apostle Paul was a early assembly leader and became a co-worker with Paul.
Tit 1: v1. Paul, a servant of Yahweh the Father, and an apostle of YahwehShua Messiah the Son, according to the faith of YahwehShua's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after holiness;
V2. In hope of eternal life, which Yahweh, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
V3. But hath in due times manifested his Word (YahwehShua Messiah) through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of Yahweh our Saviour (YahwehShua);
V4. To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from Yahweh the Father and Yahweh our Saviour (YahwehShua) the Son.
V5. For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
V6. If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly {However if one has had these problems in the past such as myself, the late elder B.Bondurant said they were cleansed at baptism. (Tit 3: v2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. v3. For we ourselves also were [in the past] sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another)}.
V7. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of YahwehShua ; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
V8. But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
V9. Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
V10. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
V11. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
V12. One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
V13. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
V14. Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
V15. Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
V16. They profess that they know YahwehShua; but in works they deny [him,] being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Tit 2: v1. But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
V2. That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
V3. The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
V4. That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
V5. [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the Word (YahwehShua/Bible/Son) of Yahweh (Father) be not blasphemed.
V6. Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
V7. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
V8. Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
V9. [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things;] not answering again;
V10. Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of YahwehShua Messiah (Heb 6: 1-2) our Saviour in all things.
V11. For the grace of YahwehShua that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
V12. Teaching us that, denying unholiness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and holy, in this present world;
V13. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing (@7th Trump) of the great YahwehShua Messiah our Father’s Son;
V14. Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
V15. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Tit 3: v1. Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
V2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
V3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.
V4. But after that the kindness and love of Father Yahweh toward man in YahwehShua Messiah,
V5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;
V6. Which he shed on us abundantly through YahwehShua Messiah our Saviour;
V7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
V8. [This is] a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in YahwehShua be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
V9. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
V10. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
V11. Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
V12. When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
V13. Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
V14. And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
V15. All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
Paul refused to let the gentile convert Titus to be physically circumcised (Old Covenant requirement) but New Covenant circumcison is of the heart. Water baptism in the name YahwehShua and hands layed on you by an elder: Col 2: v11. In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of YahwehShua Messiah: v12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of Father Yahweh , who hath raised him (YahwehShua Messiah) from the dead).
Gal 2: v1. Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.
V2. And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that evangel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
V3. But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
V4. And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in YahwehShua Messiah, that they might bring us into bondage:
Act 15: v1. And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, [and said,] Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses (Old Covenant), ye cannot be saved.
V2. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
V7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how that a good while ago YahwehShua Messiah made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the evangel, and believe.
V8. And YahwehShua Messiah, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as [he did] unto us;
V9. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
V10. Now therefore why tempt ye YahwehShua to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
V11. But we believe that through the grace of YahwehShua Messiah we shall be saved, even as they.
V12. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders YahwehShua Messiah had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
2Cor 7:V6. Nevertheless YahwehShua, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
V7. And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
The last mention of Titus in the New Covenant indicates he was with Paul during Paul’s final Roman imprisonment. From Rome, Titus was sent to Dalmatia (now called Serbia) to teach the New Covenant and sound Doctrine (Doctrine of YahwehShua Messiah)Heb 6: v1. Therefore leaving the principles of the Doctrine of YahwehShua Messiah let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward Yahweh ( Feast of Unleavened Bread day 1),V2. Of the doctrine of (water) baptisms (Feast of Unleavened Bread day 2), and of laying on of hands (Feast of Pentacost/ baptism of Holy Spirit) and of resurrection of the dead (Feast of Shouting), and of eternal judgment (Last Great Day).V3. And this will we do, if YahwehShua permit.
2Tim 4:V10. For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
HalleluYahwehShua!
