Titus Chapter 3 Back{3:1} Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
{3:2} to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all
humility toward all men.
{3:3} For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various
lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
{3:4} But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
{3:5} not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
{3:6} whom he poured out on us richly, through
Jesus Christ our Savior;
{3:7} that, being justified by his
grace, we might be made heirs according to the
hope of
eternal life.
{3:8} This saying is
faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
{3:9} but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the
law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
{3:10} Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning;
{3:11} knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
{3:12} When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
{3:13} Send Zenas, the
lawyer, and
Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
{3:14} Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
{3:15} All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
Amen.
