Titus 3:1-7 ▼

1 Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to obey rulers, to be ready for every good work,

2 to speak evil of no one, to be not quarrelsome, gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.

3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, being deceived, being in slavery to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

4 But when the kindness and the love of mankind of God our Savior appeared,

5 not by works in righteousness that we did, but according to His mercy, He saved us through the washing of regeneration and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

6 whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

7 so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
