To Titus, my true child in a common faith — the address establishes Titus as genuine offspring in faith (gnēsios teknon), implying both spiritual parentage and doctrinal continuity. The common faith (pistis koinē) suggests shared theological convictions binding Paul and Titus, distinguishing true faith from the false teaching about to be addressed. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior frames the letter in salvation-historical blessing.
