Titus

WRITER.
Paul, written to Titus to help in the ministry in Crete.

Reason
Titus was a Greek believer Gal 3:2. He had come to know Jesus as his Saviour due to some personal ministry of Paul Titus 1:4. There must have been a close relationship with Paul as he wrote in 2 Cor 8:23 "If any should inquire about Titus, he is my partner and fellow helper." It is probable that Titus was a young man like Timothy but not suffering from an health problem.
The people who lived on the island of Crete were apparently causing problems for Titus, they needed leadership because they were mixing the Jewish law with the Gospel. Titus 1:10,14. In addition some of the Greek believers were taking the freedom through grace as a licence to do anything. Titus 2:11-13

The letter is broken up as follows:
