Titus

Not a whole lot new in this letter to Titus, who was an uncircumcised believer. The one new thing I did find interesting was 3:9-11 in which Paul tells Titus to try a couple of times to argue with a person about the Law. If a person is a heretical sectarian and cause of divisions admonish him once, twice but after that cut him loose.

I know this goes seemingly against much of what is taught about love the sinner hate the sin, but at some point I think common sense has to play a role in how decisions are made. Don't we all know when arguing with some people when its time to "agree to disagree" and walk away. I think this is what he means here.
