Titus 1:5
Titus 1:5 (King James Version, KJV)
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:
I left you on the island of Crete so you could complete our work there and appoint elders in each town as I instructed you.
