Titus 1:1-3

New Century Version

1 From Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I was sent to help the faith of God’s chosen people and to help them know the truth that shows people how to serve God. ² That faith and that knowledge come from the hope for life forever, which God promised to us before time began. And God cannot lie. ³ At the right time God let the world know about that life through preaching. He trusted me with that work, and I preached by the command of God our Savior.
