Titus 1

Paul authorized Titus to sharply rebuke a believer who is out-of-bounds on their doctrinal position on following the law. Paul called them “The Circumcision.” He had little patience for their heretical teachings because they implied you need more than Christ’s sacrifice for your salvation. Their error was accompanied by other self-serving lifestyle shortcomings.

Paul’s zeal for a pure gospel was exemplary. He labored to keep the message accurate to prevent wrong thinking.
