Anderson - Titus - 3

3:1  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rulers, to be ready for every good work,

3:2  to revile no one, not to be contentious, but gentle, showing all meekness to all men.

3:3  For we ourselves also were formerly foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

3:4  But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Savior appeared, he saved us,

3:5  not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

3:6  which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

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

3:8  This saying is true, and in respect to these things, I will that you affirm strongly, in order that those who have believed in God may be careful to practice good works: these are the things that are honorable and profitable for men.

3:9  But foolish questions and genealogies and strifes and contentions about the law, avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.

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

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

3:12  When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, hasten to come to me at Nicopolis; for I have determined to spend the winter there.

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

3:14  Let our people also learn to practice good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

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