This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Tit_3:15 a
15All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
Tit_3:15 "all who are with me greet you" Paul usually, but not always (cf. 1 Timothy), concludes his letters with greetings (1) from the mission team accompanying him and (2) to the believers in the church or locality he is writing.
▣ "in the faith" The term for faith can be used of doctrine as in Act_6:7; Act_13:8; Act_14:22; Gal_1:23; Gal_3:23; Php_1:27; Jud_1:3; Jud_1:20 or as a way of expressing one's personal relationship to God through Christ (cf. Joh_1:12; Joh_3:16). It can also be used in the OT sense of faithfulness or trustworthiness. See hyperlink, Believe, and Trust at 1Ti_1:16. This phrase refers to the fact that the false teachers on Crete had rejected Paul's apostolic authority and teachings.
NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Tit_3:15 b
15bGrace be with you all.
▣ "Grace be with you all" The "you" is plural. This letter was to be read to the house churches on Crete as were all the Pastoral Letters (cf. 1Ti_6:21; 2Ti_4:22).
▣ The King James Version concludes with "Amen," but this is not present in the early Greek manuscripts P61, à *, A, C, or D*. Probably later scribes noticed its use in Rom_16:27; Gal_6:18; Php_4:20; 2Th_3:18; 1Ti_6:16; and 2Ti_4:18 and added it here as they did in Rom_15:33; Rom_16:20; Rom_16:24; 1Co_16:24; 2Co_13:14; Eph_6:24; Php_4:23; 1Th_5:28; 1Ti_6:21; 2Ti_4:22; and Tit_3:15. UBS4 rates its omission as "A" (certain).
