Titus 3:5-15 ▼

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.

12 When I shall sende Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come vnto me vnto Nicopolis: For I haue determined there to wynter.

13 Bryng Zenas the lawyer, & Apollos, on their iourney diligently, that nothing be lackyng vnto them.

14 And let ours also learne to excell in good workes to necessarie vses, that they be not vnfruitefull.

15 All that are with me, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the fayth. Grace be with you all. Amen. Written from Nicopolis, (a citie) of Macedonia.
