Noyes - Titus - 3

3:1  Put them in mind to submit themselves to governments, to authorities, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,

3:2  to speak evil of no one, to be averse to strife, forbearing, showing all meekness to all men.

3:3  For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, going astray, slaves to divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

3:4  But when the kindness and love for men of God our Saviour appeared,

3:5  not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the bath of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

3:6  which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

3:7  that having been accepted as righteous by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of everlasting life.

3:8  True is the saying; and these things I desire that thou affirm earnestly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to practise good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

3:9  but avoid foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the Law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

3:10  A man that stirs up divisions, after a first and second admonition, avoid;

3:11  knowing that he that is such is utterly perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.

3:12  When I shall have sent Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for there I have determined to pass the winter.

3:13  Zenas the lawyer and Apollos forward on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.

3:14  And let those also who belong to us learn to practise good works for the necessary wants that arise, that they may not be unfruitful.

3:15  All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
