13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos[a] on their way, and see to it that they lack nothing. 14 Meanwhile, our people must be taught to devote themselves to good works in order to meet urgent needs[b] so that they will not be unfruitful.

15 Farewell. All those with me send you greetings. Greetings to those who love us in the faith.

Grace be with all of you.[c]

Footnotes

  1. Titus 3:13 Zenas . . . Apollos: almost certainly the bearers of this Letter. Zenas is a coworker of Paul mentioned nowhere else. Apollos is the well-known Alexandrian Jewish convert who was fully instructed at Ephesus and worked effectively in the Church of Corinth (see Acts 18:24-28; 19:1; 1 Cor 1:12; 3:4-6; 16:12).
  2. Titus 3:14 Urgent needs: another possible translation is: “practical needs.”
  3. Titus 3:15 Grace be with all of you: some manuscripts have: “The grace of the Lord [or ‘of God’] be with all of you. Amen.” All of you: the plural form indicates that Paul intended the Letter to be read to the whole Church (see 1 Tim 6:21; 2 Tim 4:22).

13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos(A) on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,(B) in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.

15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.(C)

Grace be with you all.(D)
