Titus is not only to speak these things, but to exhort, that is, to stir up souls as to them; and further, to rebuke that which is contrary, and to do so with all authority: for it is the authority of God behind this.

 A Historical Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians
After that journey, when Titus had spent a good many weeks among the Galatians, it would not have been necessary to explain to them that he was a Greek.

One might almost be prepared to find that, when Paul went on to Ephesus, Titus was left behind for a time in Galatia, confirming the churches and organising the contribution; and that thereafter he rejoined Paul at Ephesus in time to be sent on a mission for a similar purpose to Corinth.

 Kidd ... Titus as Apologia: Grace for Liars, Beasts, and Bellies
Hymn or not, the statement of grace's educative purpose in Titus 2:12 is the nub of the theology of this epistle, and its Hellenism is therefore remarkable - especially, parenthetically, in view of the straightforwardly biblical worldview of 2:14, with its echoes of Exodus and Deuteronomy and Ezekiel.

In the epistle to Titus the construction of a community that bespeaks this theology is not ancillary to but a constitutive element of this theology.
