Titus 3
- Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers[1], to obey magistrates[2], to be ready to every good work,
- 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
- 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
- 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
- 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost[3];
- 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
- 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
- 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
- 9 But avoid foolish[4], and genealogies[5], and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
- 10 A man that is an heretick[6][7] after the first and second admonition reject[8];
- 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
- 12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
- 13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
- 14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
- 15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
