After the greeting (1:1-4), Paul discusses the rules for the conduct of presbyters or bishops in Crete, in view of current errors and local vices (1:5-16). He then sketches ‘the sound doctrine’ which Titus is to inculcate on aged men (2:1-2) and women (2:3-5), younger men (2:6-8) and slaves (2:9-10), in the light of what God’s grace demands (2:11-15) from all Christians.
This is enlarged and enforced (3:1-11), in view of the position of Christians towards the outside world; instead of worldliness or wrangling, ethical superiority is to be the aim of all believers. Then, with a brief personal message (3:12-15), the epistle ends.
