Paul's Letter to Titus, Chapter 3
{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.
