The Epistle to Titus is the conclusion
Of the three books, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus,
And it concludes with the wonderful faith
And the super-excellent love.
This implies that, in the current of the church's degradation,
In order to be able to effectively stand firm
And overcome the downward trend and factor in the church,
This wonderful faith and this super-excellent love are indispensable.
We should not walk by sight
Or care for the outward situation.
Rather, in this wonderful faith
We should enjoy its source,
Which is the Triune God,
To whom we have been joined
Joined through this faith,
And by this super-excellent love of the Triune God
We should love Him and all those who belong to Him.
Only in this way can we become,
In the current of the church's degradation,
The overcomers whom the Lord is calling and
Is desiring to obtain in Revelation 2 and 3.
The Epistle to Titus
(We should not walk by sight)
Is the conclusion
(Or care for the outward situation.)
Of the three books, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus,
(Rather, in this wonderful faith)
And Titus,
(We should enjoy its source,)
And it concludes
(Which is the Triune God,)
With the wonderful faith
(To whom we have been joined)
And the super-excellent love.
(Joined through this faith,)
This implies that, in the current of the church's degradation,
(And by this super-excellent love of the Triune God
We should love Him and all those who belong to Him)
In order to be able to effectively stand firm
(Only in this way can we become,
In the current of the church's degradation,)
And overcome the downward trend and factor in the church,
(The overcomers whom the Lord is calling and is desiring to obtain)
This wonderful faith and this super-excellent love are indispensable.
(In Revelation 2 and 3.)
