Titus Chapter 3, Verse 12
From BibleWiki
12: οταν πεμψω αρτεμαν προς σε η τυχικον σπουδασον ελθειν προς με εις νικοπολιν εκει γαρ κεκρικα παραχειμασαι
12: When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent
to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to
winter.
12: When I shall send to thee Artemas or Tychicus, make haste to come
unto me to Nicopolis. For there I have determined to winter.
When I shall send Artemas unto thee. This person is not elsewhere mentioned in the New Testament, and nothing more is known of him.
To come unto me to Nicopolis. It was at this place, probably, that this epistle was written. In regard to its situation, see Intro., § 4.
For I have determined there to winter. Why Paul designed to spend the winter there, or what he purposed to do there, are questions on which no light can now be thrown. There is no evidence that he organized a church there, though it may be presumed that he preached the gospel, and that he did not do it without success. His requesting Titus to leave his important post, and to come to him, looks as if his aid were needed in the work of the ministry there, and as if Paul supposed there was a promising field of labour there.
