(Tit 1:1 NET) From Paul, a slave of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,(Tit 1:2 NET) in hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before time began.(Tit 1:3 NET) BUT NOW IN HIS OWN TIME HE HAS MADE HIS MESSAGE EVIDENT THROUGH THE PREACHING I was entrusted with according to the command of God our Savior.
