Titus / Question
Paul says he will send Artemas or Tychicus to Titus, and then Titus should come to him at Nicopolis. Paul adds that he has decided to spend the winter there. See Titus 3:12.
In Titus 3:12–14 Paul gives Titus practical instructions tied to travel and teamwork. Titus is to prepare to leave Crete once a replacement arrives, and to meet Paul in Nicopolis, where Paul plans to spend the winter. Titus must also ensure two coworkers, Zenas and Apollos, receive thorough support for their onward travel so they lack nothing. These verses come at the closing of the letter, after instructions about community life and public behavior, including doing what is good and being ready for helpful action (compare Titus 3:1).
These closing lines show early Christian work as organized, mobile, and cooperative. Paul coordinates personnel (who replaces Titus), sets a meeting location and season, and expects practical support to be provided to traveling coworkers. The passage also links “good works” to concrete needs, not just general kindness.
A common mistake is to treat this as trivia. Names, places, numbers, and sequence details often carry memory, covenant identity, or narrative movement in the biblical story.
Start with Titus 3:12, then read the surrounding section so the answer stays connected to the passage's flow.
12When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
