Worsley - Titus - 3

3:1  Admonish them to be submissive to governors and magistrates, to obey their orders, and to be ready to every good work;

3:2  to slander no man, to avoid contention, to be gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

3:3  For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, going astray, enslaved to various disorderly appetites and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

3:4  But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man appeared,

3:5  not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Spirit;

3:6  which He hath plentifully shed upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:

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

3:8  This is a word which ought to believed and observed, and concerning these things I would have thee stedfastly affirm, that they who have believed in God be careful to excel in good works: for these things are good and profitable to men.

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

3:10  reject therefore such an heretical man, after the first and second admonition; knowing that such a one is perverted,

3:11  and sinneth as being self-condemned.

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

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

3:14  And let our brethren-also learn to excel in good works for necessary exigencies, that they may not be unfruitful.

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