SCRIPTURE

"but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;" — Titus 1:3 (ASV)

In his own seasons (καιροις ιδιοις). Locative case. See 1 Timothy 2:6; 6:15.

In the message (εν κηρυγματ). See 1 Corinthians 1:21; 2:4 for this word, the human proclamation (preaching) of God's word.

Wherewith I was intrusted (ο επιστευθην). Accusative relative ο retained with the first aorist passive indicative of πιστευω as in 1 Timothy 1:11. See 1 Timothy 2:7.

Of God our Saviour (του σωτηρος ημων θεου). In verse 4 he applies the words "του σωτηρος ημων" to Christ. In 2:13 he applies both θεου and σωτηρος to Christ.
