Titus was an early Christian missionary and church leader, a companion and disciple of Paul the Apostle, mentioned in several of the Pauline epistles including the Epistle to Titus. He is believed to be a Gentile converted to Christianity by Paul and, according to tradition, he was consecrated as Bishop of the Island of Crete. Titus brought a fundraising letter from Paul to Corinth. On Crete, Titus appointed presbyters in every city and remained there into his old age, dying in Gortyna, near the city of Candia. Titus was a Greek from Antioch, said to have studied Greek philosophy and poetry in his early years, he seems to have been converted by whereupon he served as Paul's secretary and interpreter. In the year 49, Titus accompanied Paul to the council held at Jerusalem, on the subject of the Mosaic rites. Towards the close of the year 56, Paul, as he himself departed from Asia, sent Titus from Ephesus to Corinth, with full commission to remedy the fallout precipitated by Timothy's delivery of 1 Corinthians and Paul's "Painful Visit" a significant personal offense and challenge to Paul's authority by one unnamed individual.

During this journey, Titus served as the courier for what is known as the "Severe Letter", a Pauline missive, lost but is referred to in 2 Corinthians. After success on this mission, Titus met Paul in Macedonia. There the apostle, overjoyed by Titus' success, wrote 2 Corinthians. Titus returned to Corinth with a larger entourage, carrying 2 Corinthians with him. Paul joined Titus in Corinth later. From Corinth, Paul sent Titus to organize the collections of alms for the Christians at Jerusalem. Titus was therefore a troubleshooter, peacemaker and missionary. Early church tradition holds that Paul, after his release from his first imprisonment in Rome, stopped at the island of Crete to preach. Due to the needs of other churches, requiring his presence elsewhere, he ordained his disciple Titus as bishop of that island, left him to finish the work he had started. Chrysostom says. Paul summoned Titus from Crete to join him at Nicopolis in Epirus. Titus traveled to Dalmatia; the New Testament does not record his death.

It has been argued that the name "Titus" in 2 Corinthians and Galatians is nothing more than an informal name used by Timothy, implied by the fact that though both are said to be long-term close companions of Paul, they never appear in common scenes. The theory proposes that a number of passages—1 Cor. 4:17, 16.10. 2 Timothy seems to dispute this, by claiming. The fact that Paul made a point of circumcising Timothy but refused to circumcise Titus would indicate that they are different men, although certain manuscripts of Galatians have been taken to indicate that Paul did circumcise Titus; the feast day of Titus was not included in the Tridentine Calendar. When added in 1854, it was assigned to 6 February. In 1969, the Catholic Church assigned the feast to 26 January so as to celebrate the two disciples of Paul and Timothy, the day after the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul; the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America celebrates these two, together with Silas, on the same date. The Orthodox Church commemorates him on 4 January.

His relics, now consisting of only his skull, are venerated in the Church of St. Titus, Crete, to which it was returned in 1966 after being removed to Venice during the Turkish occupation. St. Titus is the patron saint of the United States Army Chaplain Corps; the Corps has established the Order of Titus Award, described by the Department of Defense: Order of Titus award is the only award presented by the Chief of Chaplains to recognize outstanding performance of ministry by chaplains and chaplain assistants. The Order of Titus is awarded for meritorious contributions to the unique and visible Unit Ministry Team Observer Controller Program; the award recognizes the great importance of realistic, doctrinally guided combat ministry training in ensuring the delivery of prevailing religious support to the American Soldier
