Titus 3:14-15

Coming to the end of the letter, we see Paul's final words. They are to devote themselves to good works. "Good works" or just "works" appears a number of different times in Titus. These things he wants them to do. Specifically, he calls "our people" to do these good works. This isn't just anybody, but specifically for their people. They are different and so they should act differently. Not only do they do "good works", but they go beyond and are to devote themselves to good works. The purpose for this is to help cases of urgent need. There are many needs, but the urgent needs are to be taken care of by the devotion towards good works. Paul also adds that they are to not be unfruitful. It seems to imply that to do the opposite of good works and helping cases of urgent need would be to be unfruitful. The letter ends with Paul acknowledging those with him and them sending their greetings as well. Greetings, love and grace are mentioned as the letter comes to an end.
