5 of this Because (I left *N(k)(o)*) you in Crete, so that the [things] lacking you may set in order and may appoint in every town elders as I myself you directed;
For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest set in order what remained, and ordain elders in every city as I directed thee:

13 testimony this is true; for which cause do rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith,

14 not giving heed to Jewish myths and to [the] commandments of men turning away from the truth.
