Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
Titus, overseeing the work in Crete, was to arrange for Zenas the lawyer and Apollos to continue their journey and supply what they needed, including funds, so that nothing would be lacking. This shows that means were made available and illustrates practical financial support for traveling gospel ministers. Believers are to diligently help fellow workers Zenas and Apollos on their journey with careful, practical support, ensuring they have what they need and lack nothing.
Giving such practical support is a good work, in contrast to work that harms others. In its marginal rendering, the verse calls for engaging in honest trades. That call condemns speculation that enriches one person by taking advantage of the poor or uninformed, in keeping with working at what is good rather than stealing.
