TITUS 3:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 3
“When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.”
When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there — the personal note authenticates the epistle, shifting to practical logistics. Nicopolis (city of victory) in Epirus was the imperial city of Augustus; Paul plans winter quarters there. The delegation of Artemas or Tychicus relieves Titus, allowing his journey to Paul. The note anchors the letter in historical circumstance.
