"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 63: Titus" is a theological text derived from the Christian holy scriptures, specifically forming part of the New Testament. This epistle, attributed to St. Paul, is believed to have been written in the early Christian era, approximately thirty-three years after the Ascension of Jesus Christ. The book addresses the organization of Christian communities and moral guidance for believers, emphasizing the importance of church leadership and sound doctrine. In this letter to Titus, St. Paul instructs his trusted disciple on how to lead the Christian community in Crete. He urges Titus to appoint qualified leaders, outlining the essential qualities that bishops and priests should possess, such as integrity, hospitality, and sound doctrine. Additionally, Paul gives guidance on social responsibilities, urging older men and women to mentor the younger generations and instructing all members of the community to live lives marked by good works and obedience to civil authorities. The letter emphasizes maintaining moral integrity and encourages pursuit of a Christ-like life, concluding with personal instructions and greetings to those in Titus's circle.
