(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.
1 Timothy 2:1-2; I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
