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:
Berean Study Bible (BSB) - Titus 1:5 >The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
Textus Receptus (TR) - Titus 1:5 >Τούτου χάριν κατέλιπόν σε ἐν Κρήτῃ, ἵνα τὰ λείποντα ἐπιδιορθώσῃ, καὶ καταστήσῃς κατὰ πόλιν πρεσβυτέρους, ὡς ἐγώ σοι διεταξάμην·
