Letters Written by Paul
Paul's Voyage to Rome
Crete Island
Crete
one of the largest islands in the
Meditterranean, about 140 miles long and 35 broad
It was a very prosperous and populous
island, having a “hundred cities.”
The character of the people is
described in Paul's quotation from
“one of their own poets” (Epimenides) in his epistle to Titus: “The Cretans
are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies” (Titus 1:12). Jews from Crete
were in Jerusalem on the
day of Pentecost (Acts 2:11). The island was visited by Paul on his voyage to Rome (Acts 27).
Here Paul subsequently left Titus
(1:5) “to ordain
elders.” Some have supposed that it was the original home of the Caphtorim (q.v.)
or Philistines.
Paul’s Letter to Titus

Versículo chave (Key verse): 3:8
Tito 3:8 Fiel é a palavra, e isto
quero que deveras afirmes, para que os que creem em Deus procurem aplicar-se às
boas obras; estas coisas são boas e proveitosas aos homens.” [ARC]
“Titus 3: 8 The saying
is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those
who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good
works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.” [ESV]

en estas cosas quiero que insistas con firmeza, para que los que creen en Dios
procuren ocuparse en buenas obras. Estas cosas son buenas y útiles a los
hombres.” [RVR1995]
