Who was Titus and how was he connected to Paul?
Titus was a Greek Gentile and one of Paul's converts from his missionary journeys. He accompanied Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem, where Paul presented the Gospel he preached to Gentiles. Though some wanted circumcision, Titus was not compelled to be circumcised, demonstrating that Gentile believers were not required to keep the Law.
Les explains that Titus was evidently with Paul and Barnabas at this time, and he was a Greek, a Gentile, one of Paul's converts from his missionary journeys. At the Jerusalem meeting, Paul communicated the Gospel he preached among the Gentiles privately to the leaders—Peter, the eleven, and other Jewish elders. The issue was that this Gospel leaves out circumcision and law keeping, which the Jews could not comprehend. Yet Titus, being a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised, showing he was not brought under circumcision to be part of the council meeting.
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
