KJVPCE - Titus - 3

3:1  PUT them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

3:2  To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

3:3  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers 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 Ghost;

3:6  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus 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  This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

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

3:10  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

3:11  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

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

3:13  Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

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

3:15  All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. ¶ It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.
