What does Titus 3:15 Mean?

Verse Meaning

We do not know who was with Paul when he wrote this epistle or where he was when he wrote it, but obviously he was in the company of other Christians. Paul sent greetings to the faithful in Crete and closed with a benediction for them. The second "you" is plural in the Greek text.
"As in 1 Timothy 6:21 and 2 Timothy 4:22, the plural betrays that the letter was expected to be read out publicly." [1]
Paul opened and closed this epistle with references to faith and grace ( Titus 1:4). "Grace" appears in the first and last chapters of every inspired letter from Paul plus1,2Peter and Revelation.

Context Summary

Titus 3:8-15 - Maintaining Good Works
It is wise advice that we should try to shun controversy and disputations. Small benefit accrues from such methods of advancing the truth. After all, the Lord's test is the true one for all teachings which are in question-What is their fruit? "By their fruits ye shall know them." Let us, therefore, cultivate the grace and beauty, the righteousness and purity, of a holy life. Let us yield ourselves to Jesus to be wholly possessed and used by Him; and let our one aim be to get glory for Him and success for His Kingdom. Then our views of truth will become clear and sound, and the beauty of our lives will have the most convincing effect on gainsayers. It is better to live a holy life than be a successful disputant. The best proof of orthodoxy is a Christlike life.
Paul, having been liberated from his first imprisonment, was itinerating in Asia Minor and Macedonia, accompanied by several friends. He was intending to winter at Nicopolis in Epirus, and was about to send Artemas or Tychicus to relieve Titus in Crete, so that Titus might join him in the winter sojourn. These plans were probably canceled by his own sudden arrest at Nero's instigation [source]

Greek Commentary for Titus 3:15

That love us [τους πιλουντας ημας]
Paul craved the love of his friends as opposed to Titus 2:8.sa120 [source]
Them that love us in the faith [τοὺς φιλοῦντας ἡμᾶς ἐν πίστει]
Better, in faith. The phrase N.T.o Φιλεῖν tolove, only here in Pastorals, and in Paul, only 1 Corinthians 16:22. See on ἀγάπη love Galatians 5:22. Const. in faith with that love us. [source]

1 Thessalonians 5:28 The grace [η χαρις]
Paul prefers this noble word to the customary ερρωστε — errōsthe (Farewell, Be strong). See 2 Thessalonians 3:18 for identical close save added παντων — pantōn (all). A bit shorter form in 1 Corinthians 16:23; Romans 16:20 and still shorter in Colossians 4:18; 1 Timothy 6:21; Titus 3:15; 2 Timothy 4:22. The full Trinitarian benediction we find in 2 Corinthians 13:13.sa120 [source]
2 Timothy 4:19 Salute [ἄσπασαι]
Very often in Paul. The singular only here and Titus 3:15. [source]
