Explanation: In Titus 3, Paul tells Titus to remind his hearers to be subject to earthly officials and to be ready to do every good work. They must speak evil of no man. They must not be brawlers. They must be gentle and meek to all, because we were once filled with a large array of sins, but we were converted and regenerated by the kindness and love of God our Saviour, and we are now heirs to eternal life. We should, therefore, maintain good works. But we should avoid useless and empty speculations. Also, we should reject someone who is a heretic after multiple attempts to convince him. He is subverted and self-condemned (1-11).
Paul closes by telling Titus that he will send Artemas or Tychicus to him, and he asks Titus to join him in Nicopolis. He asks Titus to take care of the needs of Zenas and Apollos on their journey. He urges all to maintain good works and to be fruitful. He sends greetings and gives greetings and wishes grace upon Titus and all his company (12-15). ]

1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 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 Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. grace be with you all. Amen.
It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.
