ST. PAUL’S LETTER TO THE COLOSSIANS 3:4-11
Brethren, when Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

ST. PAUL’S LETTER TO TITUS 1:5-14
Titus, my son, appoint elders in every town as I directed you, if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of being profligate or insubordinate. For a bishop, as God’s steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or…

ST. PAUL’S SECOND LETTER TO TIMOTHY 4:9-22
TIMOTHY, my son, do your best to come to me soon. For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you; for he is very useful in serving me. Tychicos…
