Jubilee2000 - Titus - 3

3:1  Admonish them to be subject to dominion and power, and to persuade [those who have] authority, that they be quick unto every good work.

3:2  That [they] speak evil of no one, that [they] not be contentious, [but] gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.

3:3  For we ourselves also were foolish in another time, rebellious, deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.

3:4  But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

3:5  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 Spirit,

3:6  which he poured out abundantly in us through Jesus, the Christ, our Saviour;

3:7  that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

3:8  The Word is faithful, and I desire that thou affirm this constantly, that those who have believed God might be careful to conduct themselves in good works. This is good and profitable unto men.

3:9  But avoid foolish questions and genealogies and contentions and debates [concerning] the law, for they are unprofitable and vain.

3:10  A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject him,

3:11  knowing that he that is such is subverted and sins, being condemned of his own judgment.

3:12  When I shall send Artemas unto thee or Tychicus, procure to come unto me to Nicopolis; for I have determined to winter there.

3:13  Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on ahead, procuring that nothing be lacking unto them.

3:14  And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they not be unfruitful.

3:15  All that are with me salute thee. Greet those that love us in the faith. Grace [be] with you all. Amen.:
