Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Titus

This concise New Testament letter follows Paul’s guidance to Titus, a trusted coworker left in Crete to bring order and strength to emerging Christian communities. Titus is charged with appointing responsible elders, recognizing leaders whose lives reflect integrity, self-control, hospitality, sound faith, and a willingness to encourage others while answering false teaching.

The letter then turns to the everyday character expected of believers across generations and social roles. Older and younger people, household members, and servants are urged toward discipline, kindness, fidelity, and conduct that gives credibility to their faith. At its heart is the transforming grace of God, calling people to reject ungodliness, live upright and compassionate lives, and remain eager to do good. Direct, practical, and pastoral, this brief work explores how belief is expressed through leadership, relationships, speech, and daily action.
