Titus 3:1-11 ▼

1 Warne them to be subiect to rule & power, to obey magistrates, to be redie to euery good worke:

2 To blaspheme no man, to be no fyghters, but gentle, shewyng all mekenesse vnto all men.

3 For we our selues also were some tyme foolyshe, disobedient, deceaued, seruyng diuers lustes & voluptuousnes, lyuyng in maliciousnesse and enuie, full of hate, hatyng one another.

4 But after that the kyndenesse and loue of our sauiour God to manwarde appeared,

5 Not of workes which be in ryghteousnesse wrought, but accordyng to his mercie, he saued vs by the fountayne of regeneration and renuyng of the holy ghost,

6 Which he shed on vs richlie through Iesus Christe our sauiour:

7 That we iustified by his grace, should be made heyres accordyng to the hope of eternall lyfe.

8 This is a faythfull saying: And of these thynges I wyll that thou confirme, that they which haue beleued in God, myght be carefull to shewe foorth good workes. These thynges are good and profitable vnto men.

9 But foolishe questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and striuinges about the lawe, auoyde: for they are vnprofitable and vayne.

10 A man that is an aucthour of sectes, after the first and the seconde admonition, auoyde:

11 Knowyng, that he that is such, is subuerted and sinneth, beyng dampned of hym selfe.
