MKJV - Titus - 3

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

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

3:3  For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, 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 of righteousness which we have 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 abundantly 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 as to these things, I desire that you strongly affirm that those believing God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

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

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

3:11  knowing that he who is such has been 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 winter there.

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

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

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