LO - Titus - 3

3:1  Put them in mind to be subject to governments, and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work;

3:2  to speak evil of no one; to be no fighters, but equitable, showing all meekness to all men.

3:3  For even we ourselves were formerly foolish, disobedient, erring, slavishly serving diverse inordinate desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

3:4  But when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour shone forth,

3:5  he saved us--not on account of works of righteousness which we had done--but according to his own mercy, through the bath of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Spirit;

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

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

3:8  This doctrine is true: and concerning these, I charge you to affirm strongly, that those who have believed in God, be studious to stand foremost in good works. These are things that are honorable and profitable to men.

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

3:10  A factionist, after a first and second admonition, reject;

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

3:12  When I shall send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, make haste to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

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

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

3:15  All who are with me salute you. Salute them who love us in the faith. Favor be with you all.
