Titus 1:5 From the source of, and because of, this grace and favor, I left other MSS: was leaving you off in Crete, so that you, yourself, could correct and amend – so as to be fully straight throughout the midst – the things habitually lacking, leaving defects or remaining undone, and so you, yourself, could thoroughly establish the older folks (or: correspondingly make the elders to stand fast and be firm), city by city, as I, myself, made thorough arrangements for you.
