LITV - Titus - 3

3:1  Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready in every good work,

3:2  to speak evil of no one, not quarrelsome, but forbearing, having displayed all meekness to all men.

3:3  For we also once were senseless, disobedient, led astray, slaving for various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

3:4  But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

3:5  not by works in righteousness which we had done, but according to His mercy, He saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of 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 should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

3:8  Faithful is the Word, and concerning these things I desire you strongly to affirm that the ones believing God should take thought to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

3:9  But keep back from foolish questionings and genealogies and arguments and quarrels of law, for they are unprofitable and vain.

3:10  After the first and second warning, avoid a man of heresy,

3:11  knowing that such a one has been perverted and sins, being self-condemned.

3:12  When I shall send Artemas to you or Tychicus, hasten to come to me at Nicopolis. For I have decided to winter there.

3:13  Diligently set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that nothing be lacking to them.

3:14  And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be without fruit.

3:15  All those with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
