Titus
First appears at 2 Corinthians 2:13
First named in Scripture at 2 Corinthians 2:13 — read the chapter.
What Titus Did
A Greek believer, Paul’s partner and fellowhelper: uncircumcised, he was Paul’s test case at Jerusalem for the liberty of the Gentiles; he carried the severe letter to Corinth and brought back its good news, twice served the Corinthian collection, and was left in Crete to set in order the things wanting and ordain elders in every city.
Accomplished for Good
Paul calls him "mine own son after the common faith" (Titus 1:4) and "my partner and fellowhelper concerning you" (2 Cor 8:23); of his Corinthian mission Paul boasts that he walked in the same spirit and the same steps, taking no advantage of any man (2 Cor 12:18).
Mistakes and Failures
Scripture records no sin of Titus’; his name stands in the New Testament only with honour, and the letter to him is the church’s standing order for sound doctrine and good works.
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)
honourable, was with Paul and Barnabas at Antioch, and accompanied them to the council at Jerusalem (Galatians 2:1-3; Acts 15:2), although his name nowhere occurs in the Acts of the Apostles. He appears to have been a Gentile, and to have been chiefly engaged in ministering to Gentiles; for Paul sternly refused to have him circumcised, inasmuch as in his case the cause of gospel liberty was at stake. We find him, at a later period, with Paul and Timothy at Ephesus, whence he was sent by Paul to Corinth for the purpose of getting the contributions of the church there in behalf of the poor saints at Jerusalem sent forward (2 Corinthians 8:6; 12:18). He rejoined the apostle when he was in Macedonia, and cheered him with the tidings he brought from Corinth (7:6-15). After this his name is not mentioned till after Paul’s first imprisonment, when we find him engaged in the organization of the church in Crete, where the apostle had left him for this purpose (Titus 1:5). The last notice of him is in 2 Timothy 4:10, where we find him with Paul at Rome during his second imprisonment. From Rome he was sent into Dalmatia, no doubt on some important missionary errand. We have no record of his death. He is not mentioned in the Acts.
