Acts 20:4• 4And there accompanied him (as far as Asia) Sopater a Beroean [son] of Pyrrhus; and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus. (Acts 20:4)

2 Tim. 4:9,21• 9Use diligence to come unto me quickly;

1 Cor. 16:6,8‑9• 6But perhaps I shall stay, or even winter, with you, that ye may send me forward wherever I may go.

 9For a great and effectual door is open to me, and [there are] many adversaries. (1 Cor. 16:6,8‑9)
• We learn what the goodness of the Lord is through such an one as Paul, not merely in circumstances of great strain and difficulty, but in the most ordinary matters of daily spiritual life. (“On Titus 3:12-15” by W. Kelly)
• The fact that one of these we know rather fully in the Acts of the Apostles, the other not at all elsewhere, is full of interest. We learn that there were men whom the Lord honored in a high degree who only appear incidentally like Artemas; and yet he is even put before Tychicus. (“On Titus 3:12-15” by W. Kelly)
• The Apostle was certainly not a prisoner at this time. It appears to have been after his first imprisonment at Rome, and before the second, which closed in his death. Had he not been free, how could he speak of his decision to spend a winter there? (“On Titus 3:12-15” by W. Kelly)
• Long before there was a Nicopolis in Alexandria, there was another Nicopolis in Cilicia. But the most important town of the name then existing, beyond a doubt, was in Epirus, looking down on a promontory of Actium in Acarnania, built by Augustus Caesar in honor of the great victory over Antony, which had such a momentous bearing on the future of the Roman empire. It seems therefore reasonable, as there is no particular description given pointing to another quarter, that the Apostle means the city that was most notorious. (“On Titus 3:12-15” by W. Kelly)
• We have, at the end of the epistle, a little glimpse of the Christian activity which the love of God produces, the pains taken that the flock should enjoy all the help with which God supplies the assembly. (“Titus 3” by J.N. Darby)
