Books of the Bible

The Epistle of Paul to Titus, or simply Titus, is the 17th book of the New Testament and the 56th book of the King James Version of the Bible. It is basically sets of guidelines for how people should act. It doesn't have much in the way of tales being told throughout it, but instead delves into guidelines for what is good and what should be taught to certain groups.



Titus is a small book and can be deemed very similar to both 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy, as they all follow the same lines and are rather short, being a few pages each. It is immediately past Both Timothy's and may be considered a mere reprint of them.

Chapters in Titus

Chapter One

The book begins primarily with a bit of Proselytism and then just downright insult. The insult is presumably against those of Jewish faith, as the ones Titus refers to are 'those of the circumcision group'. This sort of thing is quite uncommon and Titus would seem to be one of the only books in bible that preaches this. The book describes how they are dishonest and states that they preach their god for personal gain, which amusingly is no more true than Christians of whom this is common.

Chapter two


Chapter Three

The third chapter, labelled 'Doing what is good' (again, maybe a variant of this), tells of how people should follow authority and why jesus saved humanity. The final part to the third chapter is set out as somewhat of a letter, presumably from Jesus, and tells everyone to make their best efforts to reach 'Nicopolis' during the winter. A similar message is brought up at the end of 2 Timothy but may not include the same characters.


Titus is traditionally attributed to Paul of Tarsus, though it is considered by many scholars to be pseudepigraphical. That is, the letter itself does not make its authorship clear, and the historical attribution to Paul is unfounded. Even early Christian scholars, such as Origen of Alexandria (c. 185 - 254), doubted that Paul was the author.
