Senses in use

  1. Set remaining matters in order · dominant

    In Titus 1:5, the aorist middle subjunctive form occurs in the purpose stated for leaving Titus in Crete; the APB renders the clause, "so that you might set in order what remains," followed by the appointment of elders in every city.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Titus 1:5, the APB presents the action as "set in order what remains." That wording is best read as the clause's presentation rather than a precise one-word equivalent.
