For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
Τούτου χάριν κατέλιπόν σε ἐν Κρήτῃ, ἵνα τὰ λείποντα ἐπιδιορθώσῃ, καὶ καταστήσῃς κατὰ πόλιν πρεσβυτέρους, ὡς ἐγώ σοι διεταξάμην·
Toytoy charin katelipon se en Krētē, ina ta leiponta epidiorthōsē, kai katastēsēs kata polin presbyteroys, ōs egō soi dietaxamēn·
