The third Pastoral Letter is addressed to Titus, who is charged with the administration of the church in the large area of Crete ( 1, 5 ). The letter to Titus has many parallels with 1 Timothy and manifests the same concerns for the maintenance duties of those entrusted with the care of the local communities. They are to give particular care to the appointment of reliable assistants and to the presentation of sound church teaching, protecting it from the many threats and dangers of false teaching.
