Albert Barnes Commentary Titus 1:4

"to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour." — Titus 1:4 (ASV)

To Titus. See the Introduction and 1.

Mine own son. See Barnes "1 Timothy 1:2".

After the common faith. The faith of all Christians—equivalent to saying "my son in the gospel." That is, Paul had been the means of converting him by preaching that gospel which was received by all who were Christians.

Grace, mercy, and peace, etc. See Barnes "Romans 1:7".
