Mine own son after the common faith; from hence we learn that Titus was converted to Christianity by Paul. Timothy was so called, 1Ti_1:2. The salutation is the same with that to Timothy, 1Ti_1:22Ti_1:2, and in most of the Epistles, with small variation: See Poole on "1Ti_1:2", See Poole on "2Ti_1:2", and in the beginning of most of the Epistles.
