Do not be ashamed - but rather - suffer valiantly for the gospel by the power of the Holy Spirit.
God delights in and is faithful towards His Christ - and we His people ought to do so as well
How do we assure that the Church of God remains faithful & on course with the purity of the Gospel? Paul answers this here in Titus 1:10-16.
What are the standards God has for those who would love & lead His flock? Paul lays these out very clearly in this passage to Titus.
